It’s time to journey to an uncharted land, because the Astera basecamp needs YOU. Become a hunter of the Fifth Fleet to track down and slay the fearsome monsters roaming the New World. Protect basecamp and craft awesome new equipment with the loot collected from your fallen foes, so you can take on bigger and badder beasts!

It’s hunt-or-be-hunted in this cooperative combat board game. Gather your party of 1-4 hunters* and venture into a world where mankind fights to coexist with monsters. Slay beasts to earn rich rewards and improve your weapons and armor on quests made up of three phases:

First is the gathering phase, where you’ll trek through the lush jungles of the Ancient Forest—or the arid dunes and fetid swamps of the Wildspire Wastes—gathering resources and searching for a monster that could appear at any moment.

Tabletop monsters can be wild and unpredictable, with changing moods and attack preferences. In this phase, you’ll use a choose-your-own-adventure style quest book to determine what state you encounter the monster in and how you’ll make your approach.

Next is the hunting phase, where you’ll attempt to slay the monster in fluid and dynamic combat that makes full use of the board and miniatures to bring your experience to life.

Finally the HQ phase, where you’ll craft new weapons and armour upgrades using the hard-won loot from your monster battles!

As the challenges mount and difficulty grows, will you be ready to take on the mighty beasts?

The choose-your-own-adventure element will immerse you in the New World, giving five unique ways to approach each monster before engaging in combat. Enjoy the beauty of the landscape, and feel your tension build as you get deeper into the hunt.

Combat

Because it’s crush-or-be-crushed with monsters as mobile as these. Enter dynamic and dangerous combat where positioning and teamwork are vital to success. Leap away from devastating attacks and strike when the opportunity presents. It’s vital you manage the threat, juggling which of your party members is drawing the monster’s attention at any given moment. One wrong move could spell doom!

Where you strike matters. Damage is location-based. Earn the loot you need for the weapons you want by targeting different areas of a monster and wearing it down over time. Players break off resources by targeting different areas of the creature and wearing it down over time, but be careful a major mechanic is “aggro,” that is juggling who among the players at the table is drawing the enemy’s attention.

Use your player sideboard to track your health, stamina, and equipment. Combat is a combo-based system, which allows players to string together different attacks with a unique deck of cards, but at the cost of stamina. Keep an eye on your stamina to balance your offensive and defensive moves, or you might find yourself caught out and crushed by a massive monster attack!  As you play, use upgrades you can swap out by crafting to gain newer (and more powerful!) bonuses and attacks.

Players will work from a sideboard to track their stats, including health and stamina, and use a deck of cards for their moves. Each weapon has its own deck of cards, and upgrades to that weapon will increase the potential pool of cards available for players to build their decks. Combat is a combo-based system, which allows players to string together different attacks at the cost of stamina. Players will need to carefully watch their stamina to properly balance their offensive and defensive moves, else they could get caught out and smashed with a powerful enemy attack.

Want to play solo? No problem. Monster Hunter World: The Board Game includes solo mode, where you can control a pair of hunters and quest to your heart’s content.
