Colossal CaveColossal Cave

$35.00 SRP

Somewhere nearby is Colossal Cave, where it is rumored that others have found fortunes in treasure and gold. Magic, too, is said to work in the cave but beware! Some who enter are never seen again…

A board game adaptation of the classic text adventure “Colossal Cave Adventure”. The basic mechanic is “draw one, play one”; there is also a game board depicting a simplified map of the cave (14 rooms). Cards represent items, treasures, actions, and “reactions”; you’re generally not allowed to play an item or treasure card unless your player token is in a specific room on the map. For example, the Rare Coins are not playable anywhere except in the Hall of the Mountain King. After you play a treasure, you must get it safely back to the surface, where you can deposit it in the Well House.

The winner is the first player to deposit three treasures in the Well House. Depending on the number of players and their willingness to stymie each other from the beginning, a game can last anywhere from 20 to 90 minutes.

 The enemy of the Colonies stands revealed. The mad dragon P’an Ku, a fundamental force of madness and destruction, has manipulated the Great Clans for its own unfathomable purposes. Madness, war, and disgrace have been the results. With P’an Ku’s machinations exposed, the samurai of the Colonies must now try to overcome their own animosities and find a means to defeat the influence of a divine enemy, or else all may be lost forever.

 

Gates of Chaos is the latest expansion for the fan favorite Legend of the Five Rings Collectible Card Game from AEG. Like the previous expansion, Coils of Madness, it is part of both the Emperor and Ivory Arc. P’an Ku’s grip on the Colonies is almost complete as brave samurai assemble to enter the mouth of madness and confront him. Will he be defeated before he can finish molding the entire land to his image?

 

This set introduces the new Ivory Edition packaging for booster boxes: a tin box with embossed artwork on the lid and with 150 new cards legal for both the Emperor Edition and the Ivory Edition Arc, with a chance every booster to get a foil version of a rare card.

 

History is written by the victors. Who will prevail between the samurai and the mad divinity? You decide!
