Urban Legends the Game(search on Board Game Geek)

- Fun Factor (1-10): 2
- Worth Buying (1-10): 1
First to 12 karma points wins. Start with four. On each turn,
roll a die, move forward that number of spaces, and most of the time
you'll land on a space that lets you gain or lose points. Sometimes
you'll gain or lose a turn. And sometimes you'll get to read
an "Urban Legends" card, where you'll have to roll a die to determine
if you're going to gain a point, lose a point, gain a turn, or
lose a turn. Some events make you "die", which puts you into an
inner loop of the board, which is not that different from the
rest of the board, actually.
The marketers claim this is a "strategy game", where "good luck is
rewarded". Read that again a few times and tell me if that makes
any sense to you. Well, I have to say that perhaps it's not too
far off the mark; you'll need to use a little bit of strategy to
determine if you want to play a game that has poor artwork, no
decision points, and a lot of interesting one-paragraph urban
legends. Good luck to you if you try -- me, you'll get better bang
for your time spent by just
reading Snopes instead of
putting out $20 for this one.
Note: There's no hyperlink to the manufacturer's webpage
because, well, there's a lot of "adult" stuff there. It's
at www.khepergames.com if you care.
