Their special power gives them a free distract action. The other hunter is the Trapper, which as you might guess, is really good at laying traps.
GAMES LIKE HORIZON ZERO DAWN FOR FREE
The first of the new hunters is the Nora Scavenger, who is really good at getting salvage to spend, and can also discard for free craft actions. Included in each are 2 new hunters, some encounter tiles, a few merchant cards, and a brand-new hunt deck with all 3-5 new monsters to take on. But enough preamble, let’s talk about the games.Įach of these expansions will be following a sort of template. But each of these expansions focuses on one of the main tribes of Horizon Zero Dawn: The Nora, The Oseram, The Banuk, and The Carja. These expansions-which I called “hunter expansions” because they all come with new hunters-come in four different sets (and one that’s a little different that we’ll talk about in a bit). Today’s review will focus on the first kind. One that comes with two new hunters and some smaller machines, and one that comes with a really, really big machine. I’m actually going to break this review up into two different ones, as there are basically two types of expansion. Since then, we’ve spent a lot of time trying out the new hunters and destroying machines.
When I say large, I’m not kidding either, it was like a 5’ high stack of boxes. Lucky for me a large stack of expansions has since arrived on my doorstep. You can read the full review of the base game here, but the short of it is that I really enjoyed it, with my main criticism being that it lacked a bit in variety. Based on the best-selling video game, this board game tasks 1-4 players to enter the wasteland and hunt down robotic dinosaurs. Last year we were able to dive into the Horizon Zero Dawn: The Board Game from Steamforged Games.
