Matt has caught the space-filling ālittleā off Tom.
(But anything you do to a corgi is probably self-defence.)

Thatās a nice very-low-spoiler review, and pretty much on the money.
Speaking of money, though ā itās not a cheap game, whereas the original Regicide is completely free to play with any 54 card deck, so please please please spend lots of time with Regicide before considering spending any money on Legacy. If you love Regicide then youāll get a big kick out of Legacy (as Matt says, itās all variations on the theme of the original game). If you donāt love Regicide, then Legacy isnāt likely to be a wise purchase.
I would say that Legacy is a game designed for experienced Regicide players, yet Iāve seen a whole bunch of people on BGG who have (for whatever reasons) purchased Legacy without having ever played Regicide, which is usually made apparent by them posting about how unbelievably punishing theyāre finding it. Which it absolutely will be for anyone who hasnāt built up the skills necessary to regularly win the original game. Mission 1 of Legacy is, after all, Regicide ā which is widely considered to be a difficult game to win. So thereās no āgentle introduction missionā here ā if you donāt hit the ground running, youāll likely be hitting your head against a brick wall for a while.
The once-broken/now-fixed mission Matt mentions was apparently a problem at the two-player count specifically. The revised rules for that one (itās mission six) are on BGG. So if youāre playing 2p then using the updated rules would probably be a good idea from what Iāve heard. Playing solo with the original rules I found it a tricky mission, but I won it on the first attempt, so I certainly didnāt find it to be ābrokenā solo (and I presume the play-testers managed ok as well), but YMMV.
Unlike Mattās, my playmat lies completely flat. There was a small amount of curl at the ends at first, but I either rolled it up the other way or put something heavy on top for a while, and itās been totally fine in all the time Iāve been playing.
Sadly I havenāt yet had the energy for finishing my campaign of this (which is on account of general energy levels rather than a comment on the game, beyond the fact that it requires some extended concentration when your goal every time is to not lose!). Iāve completed 7/12 missions so far (which is exactly where I was at several months ago). I havenāt enjoyed all missions equally ā a couple of them were fiddlier to run than I would have liked ā but on the whole itās been a very satisfying game.
