Depending upon which Island the Rival ends the Challenge card will then be placed under the Solo Mode mat and a special action taken. Once arrived, the amount of VP awarded on the card is how many spaces from the top of the Island the Rival will be placed. Whichever Island is featured on the card is to where the Rival will travel. When they begin their turn, a Challenge card is drawn. They will also have one more Action disc to use on their turn (unfair, right?). Here is how gameplay is slightly different from the multiplayer experience. After Day four the game ends and players count up points to declare a victor!
TIDAL BLADES PART 1 UPGRADE
Each Day players can refresh and upgrade used dice to better their skill and concentrate their abilities. Every time the dice are rolled to complete Challenges a Danger Die is also rolled and can wound the player by forcing a discard of dice. The game lasts four total Days (or phases with several turns in each), and players earn more Action discs on Day two and four. Shells and Fruit are common resources, and each player starts with two Actions per turn. The players earn these cards by using Actions to move to islands, gather resources, fight monsters, perform boating maneuvers and tricks, and can increase the potential for each of these by upgrading their central board dials. Players are attempting to gather the greatest standing on the Champion board (like a VP track) and VP from Challenge cards gained. Quickly, here is Tidal Blades in a nutshell. The player wins by having more points than the Rival at the end of the game. The Allies and Rival will be placed on the Champion board ahead of the player to begin the game. In addition, the player will also choose two other characters to be Allies, utilizing their ability cards and minis. The Rival will need their player board and standee or mini (I have the Deluxe Edition, so it’s minis in my case). In the Solo Mode the player will have one character to control and one Rival to beat.
Setup for the Solo Mode uses most of the setup rules for the multiplayer game with a few exceptions. This review is using the included Solo Mode rules.
Tidal Blades: Heroes of the Reef (2020)ĭISCLAIMER: As this game is a giant and many reviewers are starting to tackle it using multiplayer rules, I decided I would talk about the differences between multiplayer and solo rules. We don’t rate Solo Chronicles, but this is a STRONG 6 from me. The box is large and in charge, and setup and tear down takes about 14 years, but did I like this one? Dude. I was lucky enough to be able to back this one when it went live, and the hype was REAL. Tidal Blades: Heroes of the Reef (which I shall just call Tidal Blades from here on) is a very successful Kickstarter that funded in 45 minutes and raised over $780,000 with the campaign.
