Like sweating through a hot sauce or solving a witty riddle, the joy and thrill of playing the most difficult and ambitious board games come from overcoming the adversities.
Whether you are playing head-to-head or going collaboratively, a number of board games are fairly easy - offering relaxation or a not-so-tough challenge to overcome. But some board games are designed difficult to deliberately punish the players, putting them through seemingly impossible brutal or odd puzzles that will require them to use all their luck and strategic brainpower to win. Let us check out some of the most complex and ambitious board games of all time.
Eldritch Horror
Go on a quest to confront cosmic horrors to protect the world. The goal of this game is to ensure that the foreboding and terrifying elder beings of terror stay asleep. To keep these havoc-wreaking monsters from destroying the world, the players need to take up the roles of investigators, travelling across the globe and looking for clues to prevent the disaster.
Dead of Winter
This game is as arduous as surviving a real-life zombie apocalypse. Dead of Winter is very much like Eldritch Horror; it will stack the odds against you and make your trip at every turn. This game will elevate your paranoia to its limit, making you wonder if you are getting sabotaged by a fellow player. You will be faced with several pitfalls, and luck plays an integral role in determining your fate.
Time of Legends: Joan of Arc
This fantastic miniature wargame will enable you to relive and enjoy the golden age of warfare and chivalry. Time of Legends: Joan of Arc is a storytelling board game set in the age of squires and knights. It is a wonderful combination of skilful resource management, interwoven card play, and position on the board. You have to master all three skills to beat your opponents.
Warhammer Quest
Every player needs to take up the role of a warrior in Warhammer Quest and enter a forbidding and dark dungeon. The players are faced with horrific perils and are attacked by deadly monsters like Goblins, Orcs, Minotaurs, and Skaven. This game, unlike other board games, does not call for each player to compete against their opponents - instead, all the players need to cooperate in order to win.
Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island
This game is all about trying to survive on a deadly and deserted island and facing gruelling challenges. It is one of the toughest tabletop board games. Each player needs to look for food and materials they will require to last on the island and complete their goals while tackling the perils around them
Put your tactical mastery to the test by trying these complex and ambitious board games of all times.
