Aventura Z: Vol 2 Heroes (2022)

About this game

Adventure Z: Volume 2 Heroes is a game system set in multiple realities in which one or two players will investigate up to forty maps with different mechanics to solve with multiple endings that depend only on your decisions. After each scenario, you will unlock new maps where you will have to decide your course of action, similar to what happens in a “Choose your own adventure” book. Play through the maps and face heroes and heroines, adversaries, investigation of clues, solving puzzles... Adventure Z's mechanics are easy to learn, each turn a player will have two actions that can be used to move their character, investigate an area on the map or activate a team card trying to free new maps before they run out of time. A turn counter will limit the number of actions a player can do, sometimes having to choose between investigating everything or running to the next map. The adversaries have their own artificial intelligence, so you will not only have to control the survival of your characters. Delve into the stories of Heroes! Book as board game. -description from publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 2. 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.
