Lost Legacy: Flying Garden

A sixteen-card deduction game where everyone is hunting for the one Lost Legacy card.

Lost Legacy: Flying Garden is a tiny deduction duel of sixteen cards. You start with one card, draw one on your turn, play one of the two and carry out its effect. When the deck runs out, the investigation begins: using the investigation speed printed on the card in your hand, each player guesses who holds the Lost Legacy card, which might be a rival, you or the Ruins, a pile that begins with one card and can grow during play. Short, bluffy and full of last-second reads, for two to four players in about ten minutes, from age 10. Published in 2013.

Who it's for

You want a very short deduction game with bluffing, similar in spirit to Love Letter.

Not for you if…

You like long strategy or hate guesses based on incomplete information.

Vibe's take

Light, tricky and gossipy. You squeeze clues out of what others play, keep your own hand ambiguous and make a gut guess when the deck dries up.
