I’m back again on Malts and Meeples with another game of Aeon’s End Legacy. This is a cooperative deck building game, that you can play solo from Indie Boards & Cards. I take on the roll of two mages as they try to fight off waves of monsters and take down a giant nemesis. If you want to see a bit more how to play and the start of the story, checkout the first game play – here.

The Game

I won’t go through too much on the game because I’ve done that a lot already. You can see a review for Aeon’s End War Eternal which is going to give you an idea as to how this game works – here.

Just the quick basics of the game. I am playing as a mage who is defending the town of Gravehold from nameless, nemesis who are coming through a breach. To do this I am building up a deck of cards that contain spells, gems and artifacts. As the game goes along, through the different chapters, it unlocks new abilities, stickers, and rules to make the game more challenging.

Aeon’s End Legacy is actually a pretty solid way to learn Aeon’s End. Not everything that is in Aeon’s End is part of the game at the start of Aeon’s End Legacy. So it gives you some rules and then you learn more and more as you go along. If you are someone whom think cooperative deck building sounds fun, Aeon’s End Legacy is a good spot to jump into the game.

The Drink

Last night I made myself a gin and tonic. I am a big fan of gin and tonics but last nights was different than normal. I picked up a barrel aged gin from the liquor store over the weekend. And while the barrel aged gin is solid, I don’t know that I like it as well as I do for a gin and tonic as a standard gin. The flavor works but just doesn’t quite balance the same as I want from a gin and tonic during the summer. It loses a bit of that crisp edge to it and makes a more full bodied drink. Still good, just not quite the same.

Upcoming Streams

So next weeks streaming is going to be a bit different. Mainly I have a fantasy football draft on Wednesday. So Wednesday’s stream of Aeon’s End Legacy will be on Thursday. Monday I will have a stream as well. The topic for Monday is going to be Kickstarter games, or crowdfunding. It will range from what is good value, how I pick games, what to look for, and more. Come with you Kickstarter questions and let’s discuss them.
