And Everything Else
July 17, 2008 on 10:27 am | In Monsterpocalypse |This October, Monsterpocalypse debuts with the release of Starters, Unit Boosters and Monster Boosters, but we also have a whole collection of other goodies coming out that add a lot to your play experience!
The Accessory Pack
This pack has everything you need to take your game to the next level.
For those players that lose their dice or just want extras, this pack includes a set of dice just the set in the Starter. Getting four extra Boost Dice alone makes this purchase worth it. Sometimes combined attacks can stack up a lot of Boost Dice, and these extra dice help reduce the need to re-roll dice to get your result. Also, let’s be honest: The dice are small, and your cat could end up eating a couple of them. Having some extra dice on hand beats fishing through a box of sand to retrieve them.
The Accessory Pack also has another Health Tracker, which becomes important if you plan on playing multi-monster games. The Health Tracker is the best way of tracking your monster’s Health – with easy to read numbers, there will be no confusing the status of your monsters’ well-being. This saves you the hassle of having to keep track of your monster’s Health with archaic means from yesteryear.
Having trouble telling what figures belong to which player? The Monsterpocalypse Accessory Pack includes identification rings that easily slip on and off your figures but stay in place and declare to the world that those figures belong to you! The pack includes 15 small-base rings and 16 large-base rings. That’s enough rings to outfit your entire collection of figures for a multi-monster game (two monsters, two Hyper forms, 15 units, and 12 buildings). The rings even come in red or blue. Thirty-one rings to rule them all!
The Monsterpocalypse: Rise Map Pack
A map pack will also release with the Monsterpocalypse Launch Kit. This pack of three double-sided maps will change the game in a variety of ways. With differing numbers of foundations and a variety of configurations for those foundations and terrain features, just choosing a map can become as important as choosing your buildings. The player that goes second gets to choose the map, and he can offset the disadvantage of going second by selecting a map that suits his strategy. The map you choose to play with can provide you with that “home field advantage” just like the Green Monster provides a home field advantage to the Red Sox.
The map pack also includes the Government Building. We restricted the use of this building to one per player so that you would not feel the need to buy five copies of the map pack – you only need the one. This structure provides you with the Subsidize ability, which adds a Boost Die when you make your Power Up rolls to gain Power Dice. This improves your odds of successfully Powering Up by a lot and means you do not need to roll as many dice for your Power Up rolls, which leaves more dice for your monster to use.
The Monsterpocalypse: Rise Strategy Guide
The Strategy Guide features spoilers, tactical tips, and articles to help take your Monsterpocalypse experience to the next level. Inside you will find perspective and insight on competitive and casual play. We cover everything from each figure, to commentary on the abilities, to talking about all of the maps. Detailed in full color with diagrams and images, this beautiful offering will go miles toward enhance your game. This product even comes with a unique, double-sided map.
While none of these products are required to play Monsterpocalypse, you will find that they each have something to offer that makes your play experience more kick-ass. If you have any interest in the aforementioned items, you should speak with your local retailer to make sure that they bring in these products along with the Starters and Boosters.
