Geek and Sundry Discusses Legacy Games
Geek and Sundry has written a blog post about the evolution of Legacy games. "Until a few years ago, board games always played on the same board, with the same starting positions and always reset when the game was pulled out again for a new session. That is, until Rob Daviau designed Risk Legacy, a game that made mainstream the notion of legacy gaming, where a game set is only played once, like an RPG campaign over many sessions, and the game changes in irreversible ways."
