About the game

What is Monster Hunter World: The Board Game – Wildspire Waste?

MHWTBG - Wildspire Waste is a standalone core set that can also be combined with MHWTBG Ancient Forest for a mega campaign! Hunt any combination of monsters, with any combination of the available hunters. Wildspire Waste also includes arena quests for hunters to take on Ancient Forest monsters in one-shot battles and a solo mode, where you can control a pair of hunters and quest to your heart’s content. 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!
