How It Plays

Campaign / Battle Card Driven

Special cards trigger events and drive the action forward — each card played can shift the whole narrative.

Cooperative Game

Everyone works together against the game itself — you win or lose as a team, so get ready to strategize together!

Grid Movement

Pieces move on a grid of squares — straightforward movement that still leaves room for deep tactical thinking.

Hand Management

You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.

Role Playing

You take on a character with unique abilities and make choices as them — step into someone else's shoes!

Scenario / Mission / Campaign Game

You play through linked missions or scenarios that build on each other — it's like an epic adventure in chapters.

Variable Phase Order

The order of game phases can change each round depending on player choices — keeps everyone on their toes.

Variable Player Powers

Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.

About This Game

Inspired by the video game Monster Hunter World: Ancient Forest brings three ‘M’s and four ‘C’s to your tabletop: massive monster minis in a cooperative, choose-your-own-adventure-style combat campaign! Become a hunter of the Fifth Fleet to track down and slay the fearsome monsters roaming the New World. Protect basecamp and craft new equipment with the loot collected from your fallen foes, so you can take on bigger and badder beasts!…
