"Superb models, great gameplay!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game's miniatures are more than worth the price of entry on their own. The fact that the game is unique and interesting in its own right creates an even better value product. Even if you're not a fan of the show, the game rules are easy to understand, and if you like Legend of Korra, there's a lot of thematic elements both in the art and rules. Gameplay feels RIGHT – both as a game concept and as part of the brand it's connected with. It's not often a game based on a show like this can be as solidly appealing in terms of both gameplay and theme.

"Great Game but unsupported"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I really love the Avatar Last Airbender anime series and sort of like Korra. My favourite part of the Korra series has to be the Pro-Bending sport. This board game perfectly captures the excitement of being in the arena with detailed and pleasant miniatures. I think the only issue with this game is that the developer seems to have stopped supporting the game. They had plans for creating tournament kits and also releasing KS teams as retail but so far but now over 1 year after the KS has been shipped, there hasn't been any news.

Its a shame because I think this game really lends itself to tournament play (its a sports game after all). I would think something like GuildBall or Bloodbowls seasons would do well with this game.

If you want to try the KS only teams, head over to board game geek and you can print and play the cards. There is currently no way to get the KS only team's miniatures though.

Also, this game really does shine in the standard 3v3 type games. I don't think the 3v1 or 1v1 is all that balanced.

Description

Based on the fan-favorite Nickelodeon animated series, The Legend of Korra: Pro-Bending Arena is a two-player competition of wits, tricks, and speed as players take control of Republic City's favori­te sport.

Focusing on the rivalry between the Future Industries Fire Ferrets and The White Falls Wolfbats, The Legend of Korra: Pro-Bending Arena has two players each taking control of a team, drafting card decks for their benders, then playing cards to place elemental tokens around the board in an effort to overwhelm their opponent. As in the show, pro-bending matches are a game of push and pull, with an objective toward being the team that has either advanced the farthest forward, or completely knocked their competitors out of the ring.

The game play of The Legend of Korra: Pro-bending Arena is closely modeled after the popular Pro-bending sport featured in the first season of Avatar: The Legend of Korra. As such, the game is designed for 2 players, each controlling a team of 3 benders: earth, fire, and water.

The objective of the game is simple: be on the other team's side of the arena when the game ends and you will be victorious, or dominate the competition, pushing all their benders off the back of the arena to end the game immediately and claim the championship as yours!
