My friends and I played Legends of Andor with the expansion where you are on a ship. It was very hard for us the first tries because alot of monster spawn at the beginning and we didn't have the right tactic to fight all of them. Also we didn't get the rules completely right which made things much harder for us. But we beat the first chapter and I don't know if I wanna play again. It takes sooo long to play and to setup
Is this a coop game? I find many of those less entertaining. We love deckbuilders but Aeons End or Battle for Hogwarts are all a bit lackluster and often can be boring for the “healer” or similar dedicated support roles (at least in our group). The games are also often very mechanistic with lots of dependencies occurring in sequence.
Maybe spirit island and pandemic are better but I have not tried them
It is a coop game, I've played Robin hood and I actually liked that one, it has a nice story and simple mechanics were I think almost nothing is dependent on dice. I got later to the group for Andor and didn't even play the base game, maybe that's why I didn't enjoy it as much
In legends of Andor there isn't really a support role but some characters you can choose are stronger than others.
