About Monster Hunter World: The Board Game, from BoardGameGeek:
Inspired by the video game Monster Hunter World: Ancient Forest brings three ‘M's and four ‘C's to your tabletop: massive monster minis in a cooperative, choose-your-own-adventure-style combat campaign! Become a hunter of the Fifth Fleet to track down and slay the fearsome monsters roaming the New World. Protect basecamp and craft new equipment with the loot collected from your fallen foes, so you can take on bigger and badder beasts! Gather your party of 1-4 hunters* and venture out on quests made up of three phases.
The choose-your-own-adventure element gives players five unique ways to approach each monster before engaging in combat. 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. Where you strike matters, too. Earn the loot you need for the weapons you want by targeting different areas of a monster and wearing it down over time.
Use your player board to track your health, stamina, and equipment. Just like in the video game, your weapon is essentially your hunter class, with a unique deck of cards and upgrades you can swap out by crafting to gain newer (and more powerful!) bonuses and attacks. Combat is controlled by cards which you'll use to create combos, meaning you'll string together attacks 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!
Monster Hunter World includes a solo mode, where you can control a pair of hunters and quest to your heart's content.
