Description
It's rare for a video game theme to fit so well into a board game, but this screen-free rendition captures the spirit of Minecraft while providing a unique experience of its own. Features like the 4 x 4 x 4 resource cube, made up of 5 different materials found in Minecraft, bring the theme home. Play begins in a Minecraft-esque “Overworld", surrounded by face-down dirt blocks and weapons. Players can take two of five possible actions each turn: mine for resources; explore the overworld to reveal Mobs and Buildings; collect an adjacent Weapon; fight an adjacent revealed Mob; and build an adjacent Building by discarding resources. Much of the scoring is based on the 3 x 3 “Biome" board in front of each player, which players alter by constructing various buildings. Just like the sandbox which inspired it, there are many routes to victory. Becoming a dedicated builder can earn a predictable number of points each round, but a warrior fighting mobs will gain extra actions, end-of-game bonuses, and victory points! Though the number of components may seem daunting at first, the gameplay is easily understood by kids 10 and up. For 2-4 players, with a playtime of 30-60 minutes.
