Primal - The Awakening - Terrain and 1st Play of the Prologue

 1st Play of Primal

This game is a lot! There are tons of cards, huge minis, piles of chits... the game NEEDS a player aid or three. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed my play - I will be painting the rest of the monsters and playing through a full campaign to hopefully hunt some wicked monsters!

The game of Primal - The Awakening

You setup a monster that you are hunting with various terrain pieces surrounding them. The movement and relative location of hunters to monster are abstracted in a way I enjoyed. 

In th e Prologue you are fighting a Vyraxen - a dragon-like creature with a hit of giant bat to him. I really enjoyed painting the Vyraxen and the heroes are not bad either. THey lack some detail, but overall look nice with metallics.
 

We had to fight Vyraxen several times to win. I felt this was thematic in that we had to learn how the creature reacts to the environment and our actions in order to defeat him. I am eager to try hunting other monsters, upgrading equipment, and eventually trying out other hunters!
