Mechs vs. Minions: Classic Edition

Four small engineers, four large mechs, and a hundred minions who are about to have a bad afternoon.

The League of Legends board game, back in print for its tenth anniversary in its full original form. Classic Edition reproduces the first release with a new box cover: oversized painted miniatures for the four Yordles and the boss, 100 minions, a large hourglass for drafting, metal gears and coins, UV-gloss boards and custom dice. It adds ten solo puzzles and a pack of alternate character art.

It is a cooperative campaign of ten missions. Each round you draft a command card and slot it into your mech's control panel, then the whole panel runs in order, so the clever bit is planning a program that still works after the board has changed. Stacking matching commands upgrades them, and taking damage scrambles your panel with haywire instructions. Missions run about 60 to 90 minutes each.

Perfect for: The group that has always wanted to play a co-op game in which the main enemy is their own earlier decisions.
