Sword Art Online Board Game: Sword of Fellows is a game by Seiji Kanai, published by Japanime Games. It is for 1-4 players. In this game, players will be taking on the role of characters from the Sword Art Online manga/anime as they battle through the realm of <>. In the end if they’re able to make their way through the different levels and defeat the final foe, they will be declared the winners. Otherwise they’ll remain trapped inside the game.
- To begin, each player will choose a character to play, taking the corresponding character card and placing it face up in front of themself. Kirito must be chosen by one of the players. When playing solo, Kirito and another character are chosen. If either Lisbeth or Silica are chosen, their corresponding action tokens are given to the player. Any unused characters are returned to the box. The scenario cards are separated into the 3 different section and then each section is shuffled separately. One card for each section is then drawn and placed face down in a column to form the image of <<Aincrad>> with the Final Battle card placed face down at the top of the column. Any remaining scenario cards are returned to the box. The item cards are shuffled together and placed face down near the scenario cards. Each player will also receive an ability usage token which is placed next to their character card with the 1 side face up. The main dice, support dice anad damage tokens are placed within reach of all players. The character dice and Support Card are placed to the side. The first player is chosen and play now begins.
- The game is played where the players will be forced to challenge each scenario, leading to the final battle. Starting off, the lower section scenario card is flipped over. If there are several steps to be beaten, the Step Token is placed on the card to show which step the players are on. Each step on the scenario card must be beaten in order for the players to be able to advance to the next scenario. Starting with the Kirito player, each player will take a turn consisting of 6 steps. The first step is to select a chaining partner. This step only occurs when playing with 3 or more players. In a 2 player game, the chaining partner is always the other player. It should be noted that if a character is exhausted, it may not be chosen as a chaining partner. However if all other characters are exhausted, when a player’s turn starts, then all the characters are instantly refreshed. The next step is to roll the dice. The active player rolls some of the main dice while the chaining partner rolls some of the support dice. The number of each is determined by the scenario card. Both players are then able to reroll their dice up to two times. However the dice must be rerolled at the same time. They may also use abilities to change the die results, as long as they have abilities to use. Once both players agree with the results, the next step occurs. In the third step, the active player chooses sword skills. This is done by matching the dice to the particular sword skills on the character card. Any damage dealt by the character is then placed on the card using the damage counters. If the player is able to use up all the rolled dice, then they are able to switch with their partner and can skip the next step. That next step is the counter attack step. In this step the enemy attacks back by dealing as much damage as is indicated on the card, using the damage counters. In the next step, the resolve step, the player checks to see if the enemy has more damage on it then it’s HP. If so, then the damage tokens are removed and the step token is moved to the next step. If the step token was on the last step, then the scenario is defeated. Finally the last step is the turn end step. For this step the play passes over to the chaining partner.
