Step into the shoes of the legendary Xia Dynasty hero, Yu the Great! In the time of Emperor Yao, the Yellow River's floods were a constant threat to the ancient Chinese people. After Gun's unsuccessful attempts to stop the floods with dams, Yu took on the task. He learned from his father's mistakes and built canals to divert the river into fields and smaller waterways.
Legacy of Yu is a solo - only, fully - resettable, nonlinear campaign game. Your job is to construct canals before the flood hits and defend your growing village from barbarian tribes. Each game adds new stories and gameplay elements. The campaign has a self - balancing system that adjusts to your performance. It ends after you either win or lose seven games.
This game is for 1 player, takes about 60 minutes, and is suitable for ages 12 and up. It features chaining, deck, bag, and pool building, hand management, scenario/mission/campaign gameplay, solo play, and worker placement. The themes are ancient and city building.
To play Legacy of Yu, first, you'll assume the role of Yu the Great. Start by focusing on building canals ahead of the flood. Look at the map and plan where to place your workers to construct the canals efficiently. As you build, keep an eye on the neighboring barbarian tribes. Use your resources to defend your village when they attack.
Remember, each game has new stories and gameplay elements, so be ready for surprises. The self - balancing system will adjust according to how well you're doing, so don't worry if you make a few mistakes at the start.
When you're done playing, you can fully reset the game for a new campaign. Store the game components in a dry place to keep them in good condition. Enjoy your journey as Yu the Great and see if you can win the campaign within seven games!
