You then can spend the tokens you earned on followers, items (armor, etc.), and a whole bunch of other things that can help your future expeditions. If you successfully beat the boss, you will be rewarded with a random treasure (which will give your adventurers one or more buffs) and your expedition will end. When you do so, you will usually face a few different events and eventually end the encounter with a boss battle (some of which are very tough, especially when you get into the four and five star locations). Each type of enemy has a different attitude (and they can change attitudes during the battle) so each conflict might need to be approached in a different way.Įventually, you will reach the location of the treasure on the map. Aggressive is stronger against friendly but weaker against devious, friendly is stronger against devious but weaker against aggressive, and devious is good against aggressive but not so good against friendly.

The combat has a sort of rock-paper-scissors element to it since each attitude is strong against one of the other attitudes and weak against the other one. You can be the diplomat and kill them with kindness (friendly), be aggressive and actually fight them, or scare them away with your deviousness. When a combat situation begins, your three adventurers must move towards the enemy combatants on a hex map and attack using one of three different attitudes. While you are adventuring, you could also run into people or animals who want a fight. © Abbey Games Combat in Renowned Explorers. Unless your adventurer is amazing at the required skill, you will then spin a wheel to determine whether your adventurer succeeds or not (depending on how skilled your adventurer is it could be a coin flip, an almost sure thing, or a less than 50% chance of success). Most spaces will test one of your adventurer’s skills (for example, a situation could arise that needs an athlete to complete) and you often get to pick from two or more different ways of solving it. While you are traveling towards the treasure location, you will run into different encounters that can earn you tokens (which will be redeemed for gold, status, research, and renown once you return from your expedition). Expeditions take place on randomized maps and you will have a certain amount of supplies (which are basically turns) to get to the location of the treasure you are hunting for (it will take at least one supply to move to a new location each turn). After you have picked your crew, you get to go on your first expedition. You will want to pick three explorers that complement each other well (probably one researcher, one combat specialist, and a wild card based on which play style you like the most). Renowned Explorers has a lot of different game elements to it so I’m not going to get into too much detail but the game starts with you selecting three adventurers, all of which have different traits and skills. © Abbey Games An example of an event in Renowned Explorers.
