Call to Adventure: The Stormlight Archive

This expanded edition of the original Call to Adventure game is particularly exciting for Brandon Sanderson fans. It contains all the fun of the original base game while adding such detail in its specific Stormlight gameplay. Fans will particularly recognize favorite settings, people & places. The beautiful art on the cards, the individual way a player can become a character from Sanderson’s Stormlight Universe within his Comas pulls everything together to give this game its reason for being called: Call to Adventure.

Fun game! So far have only played it solo but can’t wait to get some friends together. The art on the cards alone are worth it for a fan of the Stormlight Archive

This is a great alternate version/expansion for Call to Adventure. It wonderfully illustrates characters and events from the Stormlight Archive and let's you build your own characters in that world.

I've played 2 games based on Brandon Sanderson's works and this one is my favorite. The art is incredible! I bought a second copy for my uncle.

The art of this is amazing. It really feels like a great look into the world of the books. The game itself was a bit of a let down. Not a lot of meat to it which was unfortunate.

So the core gameplay of this game is great. A lot of fun throwing runes instead of rolling dice, so it just feels inherently different. Crafting unique stories each time you play lends to high amounts of replayability. This expansion, as the name implies, is solely based on Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive, and even though there is an insert to try to get you up to speed, having not read the stories still takes a little away from the game. My only real complain about this version is that it seems like it was more cheaply produced. The player tableaus are now just flimsier card stock instead of the thicker cardboard from the original, the runes seem lower quality, and the experience tokens are just punchboard instead of a nice plastic. This version also seems like there is a heavier focus on the cooperative game mode, which I tend to like more than competitive, but that may not sit well with some gamers.
