About the game
Set in the fantasy kingdom of Loria in an age of magic and Steampunk where Ponies, Pegasi and Unicorns live and fight alongside each other. With the emergence of the Nagapon, a destructive race of pony-snake hybrids threaten Loria. The citizens must call upon the might of the Adventurers to eliminate enemies that threaten the security of the kingdom. Buck: Legacy is a card based Dungeon Crawling RPG where players create their character from 3 pony races and 10 adventurer classes. Gameplay revolves around fighting monsters and earning gold pieces to purchase equipment to add to their inventory. Players can be freely co-operative or competitive. Players aim to win by collecting the most medals, which are awarded for fighting monsters, travelling distance and defeating bosses. 2nd Edition improves over 1st Edition with the inclusion of Boss Monsters.
