Descent
Sea of Blood
(Descent Schrecken des Blutmeers)
Descent combines elements of a tactical miniature board game in a new way with classic fantasy role playing. One player plays the Overlord, who is not interested in successful heroes. His aim is the failure of the mission and his material gives him overpowering faculties. Up to four heroes can only succeed with astute action and cooperation. There are variable boards and scenarios; the game flow follows the usual scheme: Enter rooms, turn up tiles, enact events, collect items and fight monsters.
Sea of Blood picks up the Campaign play already introduced in Roads to Legend, but can be played without Roads to Legend. In Campaign Play you can experience an ongoing series of adventures to get wise of the dark schemes of the Overlord.
The heroes sail along the coast of Torue Albes and explore exotic and unknown islands. There they discover forgotten treasures and are confronted by the ships of the Overlord. The heroes need to be skilled in using canons, in boarding enemy sips and navigation to avoid the sabre-toothed sharks in the waters. But not only do the heroes gain strength and experience, the Overlord does so as well.
Three quests offer use of the new features of this expansion, among them gold and silver power dice as well as storage boxes for the respective hero equipment. Sea of Blood is a substantial and generous expansion of the fantasy adventure, the rules nearly reach book format. Experience in that kind of game and a preference for extensive amounts of components are an advantage for having a wonderful game in the Descent universe.
