Playing Around – All in the Reflexes

Last summer, in our GenCon coverage (way back in Issue 67), we shared news of the co-op deck-building game Legendary: Big Trouble in Little China. It was big news at the time because there wasn’t any other game set in that universe – until now. For those who lean more towards playing board games (or if you just can’t get enough of ol’ Jack Burton), Big Trouble in Little China: The Game is currently in development. 

According to the publisher, Everything Epic:

Big Trouble in Little China the Game sends you and up to three other players on a wild adventure to experience the unknown and mystical underworld of Chinatown. Each brave character uses their own unique talents and abilities to take on various missions throughout Little China; working together to gain enough Audacity to take down Lo Pan, the Three Storms, and a slew of other powerful henchmen, in this cooperative, replayable, cinematic experience.

The game takes you through the plot of the movie using a two-sided board, one for each of the two “acts” of the story. Players must first make it through Chinatown, where they build up the skills needed for act two, and then the board is flipped to do battle in Lo Pan’s lair. With six playable characters to choose from and custom thematic dice, the game is set to not only be a fun way to make it through the plot of the movie, but also a visually interesting one too.

Big Trouble in Little China: The Game is expected to be available for pre-order later this year. You can sign up for updates (plus see some of the game art and miniatures) on the Everything Epic website or take a look at their Facebook page.
