It is time to reach the end of Aeon’s End Legacy, or is it? I give some spoilers for the game at the beginning but of course, it’s always a battle when it comes to Aeon’s End. The game definitely had some moments where I wasn’t sure what was going to be happening, so join me at my table over on YouTube with Malts and Meeples playthrough of Aeon’s End Legacy.

The Game

So last week we talked about legacy games and I want to talk about the twist in this legacy game. So spoilers ahead if you are just reading and not watching the video.

Aeon’s End Legacy bills itself as a 7 chapter legacy game. I think it could go up to 10 games maybe 12 if you lost and replayed as many times as you could. So how does it feel to have an 8th chapter as a surprise in there. Jamey Stegmaier, when he was playing it didn’t like that twist. And he talked about what a legacy game should be. I don’t agree with everything he said and Charterstone, to me, was a weak legacy game. But I can see his argument about the surprise chapter.

For me, it doesn’t matter that there is an 8th chapter to play through, because I am playing it solo. But if you have a group that is going to change. Maybe someone can’t play the next time you would, maybe someone is moving, maybe there is a new game everyone was excited to get to the table. As a solo player, it just means that I have another week of streaming for a game that I’m enjoying. And Jamey’s issue wasn’t that the game wasn’t fun, it was that it was a surprise extra game you needed to play for the full story.

So, should a legacy game have a big twist? That’s a question for another time.

The Beer

So again, I am going with the very crushable tart ale, Key Lime Supreme from Surly Brewing Company. Sometimes you just want a beer that is easy to drink. The Supreme line from Surly are all very easy drinking beers. And while they might not be the most complex beers that is fine. It is better to crush something like them versus a lager or a pilsner which are generally considered pretty easy drinking. This just offers more in the way of flavor that I really appreciate.
