About the game
What you do in a play session
If you love the idea of embarking on an epic adventure without needing a massive table setup or breaking the bank, Legend of Hexdom II: Factions of Hexia is your new go-to. As a print-and-play roll-and-write, all you need is a printed map, three dice, and a pencil to start carving your path across the lands of Hexia. The premise is straightforward, but the challenge is real: each round, you use your dice rolls to travel, explore, or adventure. The catch? You can never backtrack, turning every map into a strategic puzzle where every single move matters.
The game truly shines in its variety. There are 17 unique heroes to choose from, each tied to one of four warring factions, plus universal heroes for extra flexibility. You’ll level up your character, gather loot, battle bosses, and eventually face the dreaded Hexvenant Shadow at the end of each map. With three massive campaigns—Hexia's Crossing, The Frozen Reach, and The Sunken Realm—spanning 72 maps in total, the amount of content is staggering. Every map features its own landmarks, exploration tables, and unique challenges.
What I love most is the versatility. Want to play solo? Go for it. Want to team up with friends against the map? You can. Prefer a competitive race to see who performs best? There’s a mode for that too. The game also includes a Legacy mode that lets you track your achievements across sessions, providing that sweet sense of long-term progression. It’s a polished project that comes with both color and black-and-white versions, plus options for 3D-printable standees. If you enjoy risk management, route optimization, and character growth, Hexia is an absolute must-have for your digital library.
