B. Randomly choose a player: this player becomes the Architect for the entire game and begins the game with the Construction token. First, the Architect draws the top tile from their stack and announces the number printed on its face.

Once everyone knows how to play you can probably burn through games rapid fire, which would be awesome.If you’re cool with multiplayer solitaire and you like tile-laying games (or forests), Legendary Forests might be right up your alley! My particular frustration is that this, like Between Two Cities before it, is a very tile-heavy game with no insert, meaning those bad boys are going to slosh around the insides of the box until you have to manually sort them again and again and again.

This token indicates which player will get to choose a Tree token first when placement is triggered during the course of the game.

One player is chosen as the Architect, who randomly discards five of their tiles from their set and puts the rest into a stack in front of them. It’s a quick and light game, that you can play in around 30 minutes and not feel too taxed afterwards. Legendary Forests is a new board game coming to us from Japanese developer Toshiki Sato, illustrator Biboun, and published by Iello. This is, again, where I think NMBR9 had some good ideas, though I think I like this game a bit better because of the tree tokens.
