About the game
The 17th Century is an age of enlightenment and renaissance. For some, it's an age of chivalry but for others it's an age of corruption. France is in danger of becoming despoiled by both greed and tyranny. Her only hope lies with the King's Musketeers! Gascony's Legacy is a cooperative tactical battle and adventure game for 1-4 players. Each player controls one of the legendary members of the Musketeer Corps and their allies on a swashbuckling adventure against the Cardinal's forces. Fight your way through a four-story campaign based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas to foil the Cardinal's plans before he takes control of France and sends it into darkness forever! All for one and one for all!

The listed playing time for Gascony's Legacy is 60–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.
