Monster Hunter Board Game | 怪物猎人桌游

Introduction

Xintao and I made a board game based on Monster Hunter in a Game Theory & Level Design class. It's a cooperate game and players can walk around the map by rolling the 4 sided-dice. They will experience random events, collect resources to make items or upgrade their weapons while exploring this world. In the end, players need to work together and use weapons to find and kill the boss.

在游戏原理与关卡设计课上，我和Xintao做了一款改编自怪物猎人的桌游。这是一个合作类的游戏，玩家可以通过掷四面骰子来探索地图。游戏总共分为两个阶段，第一阶段玩家可以探索地图上各种随机事件，收集资源，制作道具或者升级武器。玩家发现Boss行踪后会进入第二阶段，大家需要根据怪物的行动卡做出对策，比如躲避技能，攻击弱点等等以最终打败boss。
