Eight Epics (2015)

About this game

Eight Epics is a cooperative dice game in which the heroic players must overcome unprecedented crises through the powers available to them and the ability to roll dice. A hero's capacity for heroics is finite, however, so you need to prevent the disaster before you run out of life.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 8. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
