I do not often cross promote between this project and The Last Standee; mostly because it is the place where I get to talk about/review games outside of the world of Boss Battlers and I am never sure how much people enjoy content outside of that remit. However, once I played Monster Hunter World: The Board Game I asked veteran Boss Battlers Alexis (Xelias) and Alessio (T3clis) to both play the game a little in order to check if my impressions were not just being tinted by my love of the video game franchise.

There is a section on Cry Havoc from Alessio at the start; then we get into MHW. Initially there was supposed to also be a section from Alexis covering Journeys in Middle Earth, but we ended up talking about MHW for so long that it got bumped.

It has some flaws, but it is a fresh take on the Cooperative Adventure Boss Battling board game genre and as it is hitting retail this summer; plus having a second Kickstarter for its sequel later this year and as such I wanted to make you all aware of this review/discussion. 

If people want a fuller breakdown; let me know in the comments here and I'll write up a full review/critique of the game. 

Enjoy!

I would like to see a full breakdown. I have heard mixed reviews. Miniatures are great vs miniatures are poor quality. Game is good vs it sucks like dark souls. But my girlfriend is really into Monster Hunter and I would like to check this out.

I received MHW over the weekend but have not opened it up yet. Genuinely interested in getting going with it but times short currently. Will have to check out that podcast in the meantime.

I would be interested, also in where are the differences to KDM. what mechanics are similar or different and make the game better or worse.
