Monster Kill társasjáték

Angol leírás

The game is a blend of boss fighting and dungeon crawling set in a dark fantasy world where a cult venerates the dual suns. According to this belief, the emergence of the second sun heralds a time of cleansing for the earth. When this second sun finally appears in the sky, mysterious monsters wreak havoc, worshipped by the faithless as prophets of a new world. Players assume the roles of 'Blades of the Suns,' the armed branch of the dual suns order, who view the beasts as heretical omens and believe that their eradication will lead to humanity's salvation. The players' task is to find and eliminate these beasts, often protected by the faithless. The game can be played in three modes: monster duel (where players engage in direct combat with the beast), monster hunt (where players navigate through locations fighting followers in a dungeon crawler style), and campaign mode (where players must kill a certain number of monsters by searching for them on the campaign map). The game relies on dice pool management. At the start of each turn, the player rolls a pool of dice (4 or 5, depending on the mission type) - 3 are used for the character's actions; the rest determine the opponents' actions. At the beginning of each turn, an action card is also drawn, on which the player places one of their dice, granting them a specific pool of points (movement, attack, defense, skills, power). Using skill points, the player can set their active special actions from a choice of 10, with 3 positions available. Allocating 3 points to an action means it will have a low cost (but only that action can be performed), 2 points indicate a medium cost, and 1 point results in a high cost but allows the use of up to 3 designated actions in a turn. A crucial aspect of combat with monsters is targeting specific body parts and flanking opponents. The game ends when the monster is defeated in one of three ways: by depleting all its health points, executing enough attacks on its weak point, or using the map to trigger a trap that defeats the monster. The game is designed for single-player mode but also offers a duel mode where players compete against each other (without other opponents).
