I had high hopes for The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Adventure Board Game.
The Elder Scrolls series cemented my love of RPGs at a very young age.
However, Skyrim felt both overwhelmingly big yet easy to continue exploring in.
Unfortunately, the Skyrim board game doesn’t reach the same heights.
Its an oddly therapeutic process that can take up to 20 minutes by itself.
You then have the board, which is a map of Skyrim where the action takes place.
The same can be said for adventure cards, character models, and quest cards.
Ive always been a bit of a rules guy taking control of tables to get the game running.
Its a great idea that could work well to invite you into the world but does the opposite instead.
It can really work, until it doesn’t.
Some cards feel like a throwback to quests in lieu of actual original writing.
Just pretend that happened again.
Publisher Modiphius has plenty of experience working with big franchises like Skyrim.
It’s a well-rounded system that allows you to settle on a defined build over time.
This is a good system that avoids players' power-leveling and walking through encounters with ease.
Should you buy The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim - Adventure Game?
Are you a massive fan of Elder Scrolls?
Have you already gone back and got that Skyrim Platinum, or is it your Holiday game every year?
Itisfun to play as a Khajiit, though.
If you’re OK with that, proceed.
Even just for consulting some niche edge cases, you will want to constantly have a phone on standby.
