This is the exact same thing they've done for the past couple editions, so Legends as a thing isn't new. I see this more as, hey, these models are old as hell, aren't made anymore and we don't want to spend time making sure they're balanced for tournament play, so here's rules for you to play them in casual/Crusade games, have fun.

@TimoculousPrime Oh, if she's a fan of foxes, there's a game that should be out later this year by Pandasaurus called The Fox Experiment. It's designed by Elizabeth Hargrave, the same designer as Wingspan.

Return to Moria does look interesting. I'll be watching to see how it shapes up.

Agree on stealthy Gollum gameplay possibly being interesting in another game. It just doesn't feel like a strong enough premise to shoulder an entire game. Let alone one with a $50 price tag.

LotR: Gollum was a bad step towards this, but we'll see how the new Magic: the Gathering set coming out in the next week does to push this along. One thing that they're lacking in the world of tabletop is a strong RPG presence. There's a new one that JUST came out last month, but I've not heard much demand (if any at all) for it, and I run a decent sized FLGS in SoCal.

@TimoculousPrime I hear good things about Fox and the Forest Duet. It's a trick taking game, and, while the original is competitive, the Duet version is cooperative.

Another one I've played is Time Stories. The original gives you a scenario and a timer in which to solve the mystery, so don't expect to win the first time you play. The newer Revolution series for Time Stories does away with the timer, in lieu of a points system. So, you're always going to solve it, but you're graded on how efficiently you did it.

There are also larger co-op games my SO and I have played a bunch, like Spirit Island and, most recently, ISS Vanguard and Monster Hunter World.
