So after a really long delay MGS the board game was finally released.
As a huge fan of the games I was looking forward to this but my expectations were very low.
Apparently it delivered in spades.

The game includes the full campaign of mgs1 plus some VR missions. It seems to be a brilliant adaptation of the game's mechanics.
I watched only the first 2 levels on youtube as I do not want to be spoiled, esp about the bosses. They say the Psycho Mantis fight is just as clever as the one in the video game and needs out of the box thinking to defeat him.

Sadly the retail edition misses a comic and the Rex miniature, so I will wait for another crowdfunding campaign for the Integral edition.

I have the resident evil 3 board game and as much as I enjoyed playing it, it just takes too long to setup. Especially with the 3d printed accessories. This looks a lot quicker and easier to set up?

Absolutely yes.
I have also heard that resident evil has a lot of admin too. Mgs is a much better board game.

Fyi, the best resident evil is Re1 (which was the third release) and soon a crowdfunding will start for Re4.

Don't see the necessity of such a cross medium product, but I mean...I guess it's fine if you're....board.

Gotta be less embarrassing than the novelization, right? That's gotta retain the....Monopoly on terrible Metal Gear adaptations, right?

I would rather the funds go toward a good script guy for an eventual MGS6. I'm disappointed, but I guess that's............Life.

Maybe if it has the sixty-six keycards from the original. I didn't deep dive on the features of the game, I suppose that die is cast, but I'll potentially miss the "six...D6....keycards,"

I've clearly lost my Checkers.

...ha!
