Beast of Gévaudan is a new board game experience

Beast of Gévaudan is a new board game experience coming soon to Kickstarter from @hounds_and_jackals.

The game takes players on a harrowing journey into one of the most mysterious and terrifying tales of the country's history.

Here's a sneak peek at the centre of the game board, showing the Locations to which player's Hunters will travel, in their efforts to end the Beast's rampage.

Hooray for yarn! My wonderful wife, @burrow_and_so

I picked up a copy of Maximum Apocalypse by @rockm

I picked up a copy of Maximum Apocalypse by @rockmanorgames last week, which I'm thoroughly enjoying!

It has a quick learning curve and is great fun. As a big fan of solo/coop encounter-based card games like #arkhamhorrorthecardgame and #escapethedarkcastle, this sits somewhere in between those two in terms of complexity, and it's way easier to learn than Arkham!

Setup can be a little fiddly, considering its quick playtime, but that's easily mitigated with a little familiarity with the components through repeated plays.

The creatures ushering in the apocalypse are nicely varied, from zombies and mutants to aliens and robots, and there are several expansions available to add more. With the Penny Dreadful TV show a staunch favourite in our house, I have my eye on the gothic horror expansion.

The photos only show parts of the game (it also involves location tiles similar to #forbiddendesert) , but I took them mainly to showcase the impeccable custom playmat, designed by Christi K (username: clmdvd) on #boardgamegeek and printed by @deepcutstudio

The mat is designed for two-handed solo play, and has space for all the character cards and the enemy deck.

As you can see, the quality of the mat is second to none, so I'm pleased as punch! 🙂

If you're interested in printing your own mat, the image is available for free under the files section of the game's bgg page. I just love what the creative gaming community is capable of, don't you?
