This BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA Board Game Is Freakin' Rad
If you're a movie geek who happens to be into board games, you're gonna love Big Trouble in Little China: The Game! It was designed by Chris Batarlis and Boris Polonsky, who are obviously big fans of the John Carpenter movie classic. The game is still in development, but below you will find information on the game that has been released, along with box art, game art, and cool character miniatures! I've just started getting into these kinds of games and they're actually pretty fun if you have a good group of friends to play with.
It’s a thematic, cooperative, strategy, miniatures, adventure game that allows 1-4 players to experience the events they remember from the film as well as create new adventures of their own. The game plays in two acts: Act One uses the front side of the game board: Chinatown, while Act Two takes place on the back: Lo Pan’s lair. Players will choose from six characters, each with unique abilities, and will use custom dice for actions, quest tasks and combat. They will also be able to use the communal fate dice, which come with a fun risk/reward mechanic. After completing quests and upgrading their characters, players will move to the back of the board for the big showdown with Lo Pan! Will the heroes stop Lo Pan’s evil scheme in time, or is everything gonna go to hell?
Below you'll find art for Gracie Law, Lightning, Rain, and, of course, the Wild Man:
Here are the miniatures. Unfortunately, they don't show us what the characters Jack Burton or Lo Pan will look like.
Big Trouble in Little China: The Game will be available for pre-order later this year. If you want updstes on the game you can sign up for them here.
