Probably the least necessary character, the thief’s only aim is to pilfer from the cave and take stacks back to the entrance. “For those looking for a unique gaming experience who have the time and desire to learn five games in one, Vast: The Crystal Caverns will titillate.” Goblins can die repeatedly and are never out of the game, but if they don’t act fast, the knight can easily overpower even the strongest foe. Sometimes sheer numbers and strength are enough to take down the knight, but as the knight gets stronger, the goblins have to rely on tricks, such as secret cards and monster friends to brutally murder the knight. At first, the goblins can only place themselves on various darkened tiles on the board, but on the following turn, they can move in to injure the knight. Each turn, the goblin player turns up one or more cards based on their rage stat that determines how much the tribes swell. Hiding initially, the goblin player controls three tribes that have unique abilities. Experience points eventually result in additional cubes that can be allocated each turn on different stats or equipment. These range from treasure to cave-selected events or goblin ambushes. By moving around on darkened tiles across the board, the knight not only earns experience, but must face potential peril based on what tile the cave player put down. How exactly do these sentient beings accomplish said feats? The knight has to explore, level up, gain equipment, and eventually slay the dragon by piercing his armor.
The goals merely motivate and move gameplay. No other game to my knowledge achieves this level of asynchrony, and certainly no modern popular game. This asynchrony is what makes Vast fantastic. The knight wants to slay the dragon, the goblins want to kill the knight, the dragon wants to wake up and escape the cave, the thief wants to steal a bunch of treasure, and the cave wants to collapse and kill everyone in a glorious, rocky, and unique take on seppuku. What exactly is going on here? First, let’s talk about the goals of each character. Yes, I said cave.īut I’m getting ahead of myself. The five playable characters in Vast are the knight, dragon, thief, goblin clan, and cave. In Vast: The Crystal Caverns, players each begin with different characters, all with unique abilities, goals, rules, and strategies. We connect to the needs of busy parents and aim to enrich the time spent with their children.Most board games start players off with approximately the same setup, and gameplay ensues in a linear fashion from there with everyone having equal opportunity for success or failure based on turn order, randomly revealed cards, or any other of several board game mechanics prevalent today.
