Watch “G.I. JOE Heroscape: Rumble at the Rift Battle Box - Unboxing,” a board game unboxing on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by David Niecikowski, PhD on YouTube:

Join David and Julie for an insightful unboxing of Hero Escape GI Joe edition Rumble at the Rift, a fantastic "tabletop game" for two to four players. This "family friendly" session showcases game components including miniatures for figures like "snake eyes" and "cobra". We also discuss the game's mechanics, perfect for fans of "dungeons and dragons" or similar games. On Earth, G.I. JOE is the codename of a highly trained covert special missions force. Their enemy: COBRA, a terrorist organization bent on ruling the world! Thanks to the bizarre inventions of the crazed Doctor Mindbender, both forces have been transported far from Earth, to another world known only as “Valhalla”. While they search for a way back home, both factions must get accustomed to this new place, where magic and mystery are afoot. All that is different here are the stakes. Now not only Earth hangs in the balance: for on Valhalla, when troops battle, they battle for ALL TIME! This Battle Box includes everything two players need to jump into Heroscape, featuring 8 highly detailed miniatures, modular hex terrain, COBRA fortifications, dice, markers, and all the cards, rules, and scenarios needed for endless replayability. Duke, Scarlett, Roadblock, Snake Eyes, COBRA Commander, Destro, Storm Shadow, and Doctor Mindbender are here to wage all-out war in this new world! This Battle Box is fully compatible with all other Heroscape releases. Expand your forces with any Heroscape expansion for even greater battles! Contents 1 Rulebook 1 Scenario Guide 8 Fully Assembled, Highly Detailed Miniatures 2 COBRA Fortification Wall Terrain Pieces 8 Combat Dice 1 20-sided Die 8 Order Markers 20 Wound Markers 1 Round Marker 4 Glyphs 3 Glyph Cards 29 Terrain Pieces 2x 24-hex Asphalt Tiles 5x 7-hex Concrete Tiles 6x 3-hex Concrete Tiles 6x 1-hex Toxic Tiles 5x 1-hex Shadow Tiles 5x 1-hex Toxic Water Tiles Features New Shadow Tiles and glow-in-the-dark Toxic Land and Water Tiles! Snake Eyes strikes silently with deadly precision using Assassinate, and can bypass enemies to eliminate isolated targets using Phantom Walk. Duke rallies your troops with YO JOE and unleashes coordinated attacks using his Lead by Example ability. Scarlett outsmarts opponents, disrupts their plans with Now You Know, and delivers relentless follow-up strikes using Lethal to the Bone. Roadblock lays down relentless suppressive fire with triple-target machine gun bursts using his Machine Gun Special Attack. COBRA Commander strikes hard in close combat with Cutlassss of COBRA and slips away with I’ll Get You Next Time. Doctor Mindbender manipulates allies with A Little Suggestion, controls enemy minds, and turns their own forces against them with Bend Mind. Storm Shadow blinds enemies with the Nanite Smoke Grenade, carves through multiple foes in a single turn with Whirlwind Assault, and vanishes without a trace. Destro arms his allies with powerful tech, shrugs off enemy fire with Beryllium Steel Mask, and can attack an additional time using the Personal Arsenal special ability.
