Things were going well in our Monster Hunter World Iceborne: The Board Game preview - too well, in fact. We'd managed to slap a saber-tooth dragon with a toad that put it to sleep (man, this series is wild) and unleashed hell in close combat while it snoozed. And then the avalanche buried me… followed by the arrival of a second, even bigger monster who was very, very eager to pummel us into a fine paste.
It's a good example of how fast your fortunes can change in this follow-up. Developed by Steamforged Games (the folks behind the Horizon Zero Dawn board game and numerous Resident Evil adaptations), Monster Hunter World Iceborne: The Board Game is just as engrossing as its predecessor. However, it makes smart changes to enhance an already-strong formula.
