Legacy of Yu - Solo Ancient China Board Game

LEGACY OF YU is a solo-only, fully-resettable, nonlinear campaign game in which you step into the role of the legendary hero of the Xia Dynasty, Yu the Great. Your task is to build the canals ahead of the impending flood, while also defending your growing village against neighboring barbarian tribes. The campaign features a self-balancing system which adapts to how well you are doing, and ends once you either win or lose seven games.

During the reign of Emperor Yao, the people of ancient China were constantly plagued by deadly floods along the Yellow River. Yao selected Gun, one of his officials, to devise a plan to put an end to the devastation. After nine years of failed attempts, Gun's employment came to a questionable end. Yu inherited his father's work and set out to construct a series of canals to direct the surging river into nearby fields and smaller waterways, learning from Gun's failures.

While the elements might change from game to game, the aim for each remains the same: to finish the Canals before it’s too late! The new elements will be added during each game, and also at the end of each game, regardless of whether you win or lose. This is all driven by the Story Book and Story Deck, providing a non-linear and resettable experience. Once you're done with the campaign, you can reset to play again, or pass it on to a friend for them to enjoy.

The game is designed for solo play and offers fast, tense gameplay with quick setup and teardown between sessions. It combines worker placement, deck management, resource management, and action chaining for an exciting and dynamic experience. Regardless of the outcome, you will feel a sense of progression and reward as the story plays out.

In summary, LEGACY OF YU is a solo-only, fully-resettable, nonlinear campaign game set in ancient China, where you build canals, repel barbarians, and rise to fame. It offers rewarding gameplay, fast and tense gameplay, and a dynamic gaming experience. So, step into the role of the legendary hero, Yu the Great, and lead your village to victory!
