Strategy 28 September 2018

A tactical strategy game focusing on turn-based encounters between groups of characters with incredible abilities. In order to play the game, one needs to be in possession of a special board, as well as plastic character figurines and ability cards to place on it. Prodigy was created by a studio founded by Jean Bey - a French gamemaker who specializes in traditional board games (for instance, he created Confrontation). In this fantasy world, two main factions represented by different characters are fighting each other. The player builds up their team through buying new character figurines. Characters are moved by moving the figurines, and the player takes various actions using a deck of special cards. Each character has their individual abilities - the player combines different cards together in order to activate them. Between the encounters, the player explores the world map, engages in complex conversations with NPCs, and takes quests from them. All the teams and characters have their own storylines and the players' decisions affect further developments in the story.
