Monster Hunter: Board Game Buying Guide and Extensions

Monster Hunter World: Board Game: Ancient Forest

0

As you would expect from the title, the set of the series is the original forest. The game board is lush green and brown, and the monsters are obviously inspired by dinosaurs and tropical animals. There are great Jagras like lizards, hairy and scaled Tobi-kadachi, terrible overlord Anjanath and giant dragon Rathalos. Departing to knock them down are the classic hunter's great sword, sword and shield, double blades and bows.

Monster Hunter World: Board Game – Wild Lord Waste

0

Wild Lord Waste is more named, but monsters and planks clearly show that it is Wasteland type settingmixes rock outcrops, deserts and swamps. The accompanying creatures are the heavily armed Barros, the giant swamp fish Jurados, the bird-like Pukei-pukei and the Diablo of the underground behemoth, which are similar to their demons’ names. The hunters in the group were even more bizarre, wielding charge blades, switch axes, heavy bow guns and insect charms.

Retail expansion

Like Kickstarter-powered games, a large number of expansions can be booked at the same time. Most of these are still found in retail, but Nergigante is hard to find, Teostra is unique to publisher Deamforged Games – they are all available directly from their websites at the moment.

Nergigante, Kushala Daora and Teostra are all Elder Dragons, a new type of monster for you to hunt. They also offer other quest content for the base game, but the most attractive five-star difficulty level in all of these aspects is perhaps the most attractive, better than any base game monster, and the accompanying miniature is also larger than any of its core box counterparts throughout the level. This brings you an extra giant challenge to overcome and expand your campaign.

While fighting the final boss in a longer campaign may sound like an ideal way to expand basic game content, all of these extensions are expensive, and many features are only used with one core box or another. For example, Daora has a special hand-made weapon that fits hunters in ancient forests and another hunter in Wildspire Wastes. So if you want something else about the game, choosing a second core suite is likely to be your best first stop.

Monster Hunter World Board Game: Hunter's Arsenal Expansion

0

This offers six new hunters, named after their weapons as usual, a mixture of tradition and special. You can choose from light bows, long swords (which are indeed very long swords), gunshots, hammers, spears and hunting horns (not looking like horns). While cool dragons and other monsters are obviously attractive, it adds diversity just for your game, but this box offers you the most profits as you can use six different new toys and you can explore six new upgrades, not just one beast. However, you will need two core sets to be able to make the most of all six.

Monster Hunter World: Board Games – Nergigante Extension

0

If you do want a one-stop added to your campaign, this may be your best bet as it allows you to make other weapons for all currently available characters, including the core suit and all weapons in the Hunter’s arsenal. He was also strange, a prickly colossus, who would grow vicious spikes in any damaged area to stab the hunter.

Monster Hunter World Board Game: Kushala Daora Expansion

0

Kushala Daora It is a wind dragon, who self-service hunters with powerful storms, and he also gets the largest miniature in the series with a wide wingspan. As if defeating such a behemoth in the first place isn't hard enough, you'll also have to fight against strong winds and tornado explosions, even ending with your quarry.

Monster Hunter World: Board Games – Teostra Expansion

0

In all dragons, Teostra Probably the most familiar, just because it is a classic fire dragon that everyone knows, or it may be equal. As you might expect, this means there are a lot of punishment for the explosion and fireballs of anyone who dares to invade the dragon's nest.

Exclusive extension

Originally only as part of the game's Kickstarter campaign. If you want to pick up a payment second-hand, you expect to pay a huge premium. But there is another chance to grab one now thanks to the recent Kickstarter campaign targeting the new Iceborne Boxes.

Mont Hunter World

0

This strange creature can pick things up with its dexterous claws, such as rocks thrown at the fearless hunter. In mechanical terms, this not only gives missile attacks, but also uses tools to make it unpredictable, ensuring you have to choose the right position from round to round to get maximum damage. It looks a lot like a bird Momore – an ostrich-like dinosaur – so it looks very Ancient Forest Although it can be used with any core box.

Upcoming content

Monster Hunter World Iceborne: Board Game

0

After the success of the initial lineup detailed above, publisher Steamforged Games ran a second Kickstarter for a new iteration, the basic design, called Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. Although it has the same core mechanics, it has a range of new concepts, so it is only compatible with the original box part: you can transfer monsters and hunters from one to another in the arena game, but you can't transfer campaigns from one setting to another.

Bingbo’s content follows a similar but slightly different pathway to the original campaign. This time there was only one core box, and Hoafst was within reach, with four more monsters and four hunters. As before, there are also dragons, ancient dragons and hunters' arsenals expand. But instead of another core box, there are three monster extensions, each with four new monsters, absolute power, boiling rage and overwhelming hunger. Plus a bunch of extra features unlocked during the campaign.

When the campaign is closed, the game has not shipped yet, and you can still order the items offered through Gamfound.
