When Upper Deck released Legendary® 007: A James Bond Deck Building Game, we knew we had a fantastic opportunity to bring the nearly 60-year history of this film icon to both players and fans. That 600 card set is the largest Legendary box we’ve ever made, featuring scenarios and characters from Goldfinger, The Man With The Golden Gun, GoldenEye, and Casino Royale. With the Legendary® 007: A James Bond Deck Building Game Expansion, we brought On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and Licence To Kill to the game as well.
We’re pleased to continue that legacy with Legendary®: The Spy Who Loved Me! This is the first time we’ve dedicated an entire 007 expansion to a single film, allowing for new keywords and ideas that are ideally suited to its story and themes. Among those are some themed to Bond himself, some representing dangerous situations he finds himself in, and others meant to bring some of his most notable adversaries to life on the board.
Perils
Things aren’t always easy for Bond, and the all-new to Legendary Perils showcase that perfectly. Many of the card groups in The Spy Who Loved Me require you to set up a Peril stack beside the Mastermind. As you play you’ll be instructed to draw these cards, representing traps and scenarios that Bond has been forced into. Be they shark pits or falling stone blocks, they represent unforeseen obstacles that put you in danger!
No matter what happens with a Peril, it’ll be KO’d at the end of the turn of the player dealing with it. If you succeed in its challenge you’ll be safe from the Peril’s effect and gain any benefits from your accomplishment. If you should fail, you’ll have to deal with penalties that are different for each potential Peril. Before you draw a new hand, follow the instructions on the card and then KO the Peril. A new, “Goodbye, Mr. Bond” Special Wound is also included in Legendary®: The Spy Who Loved Me, which forces you to draw a Peril immediately!
Legendary®: The Spy Who Loved Me – A James Bond Deck Building Game Expansion will be available on April 20th. The Core Set and first expansion are both available now!
