A small group came into my game shop today and picked up a copy of Monster Hunter. It was a slow Saturday and no one showed up to play Magic so I joined them in a game.

It took a while to get all of the rules figured out. If you have ever played the video games it really felt like we were playing an analog version.

You get a character sheet and gain crafting materials as you track the monster. We found the Great Jagras very quickly and the started taking it down right away.

After you complete your hunt you get more crafting materials and head to HQ to begin upgrading your gear.

3 of the 4 of us have played the video games, I have played the least. The person who has never played enjoyed it as much as the rest of us. I have been asked to order the expansion and other core box for them.
