Avatar: The Last Airbender Now Has A Deckbuilding Card Game
Build a deck and adventure through the Four Nations playing as Aang and his buddies with as many as three of your friends
If you're interested in picking up the new game for yourself or for an Avatar fan on your holiday shopping list, you might want to snag it quickly. Aang's Dynasty is only available at Amazon (for now at least), and the retailer's shipping window is currently two to five weeks; delayed shipping windows are often a precursor to products selling out at Amazon.
Aang's Destiny is a story-driven tabletop game where you take on the role of either Aang or one of his friends--Katara, Appa, and Sokka--to work together through adventures that will take you across the Four Nations. The game includes seven different boxes worth of story cards, each one composing a different adventure. The idea is that you play through each of the scenarios in order as you make your way through the Four Nations, with each increasing in difficulty and adding rules as your decks become more honed and powerful.
As for those decks, they include cards representing things like the group's allies, bending abilities, as more, so that as you advance, your characters increase their power and skill as if they were experiencing the story in The Last Airbender. You'll also need to collect certain items and complete various different objectives in each story in order to advance.
The game includes more than 370 cards in total, and the randomness inherent in deckbuilders means that each run through Aang's Destiny will be different from the others. You can play with as few as two people, and each run lasts more than 60 minutes for players ages 10 and up.
Aang's Destiny might be the newest tabletop adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender, but it's far from the only one. There are several that tell other stories and use different gameplay mechanics to bring players into the world of Avatar. Crossroads of Destiny provides more of straightforward board game experiences, for example, while Fire Nation Rising focuses more on combat and makes heavy use of dice. There's also Avatar Legends: The Role Playing Game, a tabletop RPG with numerous expansions and other add-ons.
