Monster Hunter World: The Board Game Unboxing

gamesreviews.com:

I absolutely love unboxing a brand new board game, even when I know what components are going to be inside. Monster Hunter World: The Board Game is something else, with so many great components inside, and one small issue. Let’s take a look at what you get from Monster Hunter World: Wildspire Waste and Monster Hunter World: Ancient Forest!

I could treat these as two unboxing experiences, but that seems silly as each box is essentially identical in what you get, although obviously with different looking monsters, heroes, and the board. The cards, which vary from each game, feel and look the same, and are of fantastic quality. With as many cards as you will use in this game, I think having those high quality cards is very important.

When we talk about the generic pieces in each box – the 3 dice, health trackers for heroes and monsters, the cards, the stamina board, the tokens, etc – there are just a few things that are disappointing to me. I love a game that uses cardboard chits as long as those pieces easily come out of the punch board. That wasn’t the case with this game. I had to be VERY careful not to rip or separate the cardboard when trying to get the pieces out of the board – with care you shouldn’t have any issues, but just a bit of haste (which really shouldn’t be an issue) you could tear some of your tokens!

I also wish the stamina board was just a bit better quality. I do understand that including 4 cardboard stamina boards in the box would have created a larger box, but perhaps just a bit of a quality bump on the card-quality stamina board would have been nice!

What most people want to see out of this box, however, are the hunters and the monsters. The quality of the hunter sculpts are just OK in my
