Want to know if the new Lost Patrol game is worth your hard earned Hobby Dollars? Come see our first look unboxing of the newest Board Game from GW!
First off at face value this box is worth the price of $60 just on the price of the models alone which retail out to $70, so there is no “loss of value” by purchasing in this format. Another cool thing that I like about the game is the fact it’s so fricking easy to set up and play.
I’ll be honest though, the game itself is a little brutal, kinda like playing a Nintendo game in the 1980’s because back then it was ALWAYS on hard mode. For y’all younger folks I’d equate this to “Nightmare” mode from Call of Duty!
It’s that hard to win if you’re the Space Marines, but with a few little tweeks you can give these poor lost near superhuman a little more of an advantage I feel like. More that next time with our full walk though game play video, today this is all about the unboxing!
Lost Patrol $60
Moraz III – a deadly jungle world filled with danger and fear, populated by ferocious aliens who wait in the undergrowth to pounce on the unwary and mercilessly kill anyone who stumbles across them. Even the plant life itself is malignant here, constantly twisting and growing in unnatural ways to trap its prey.
A dropship containing vitally important surveillance files has crash landed on this hostile planet. It’s up to you and your squad of Space Marine Scouts to retrieve these files, activate the dropship, and hopefully escape with your lives!
Lost Patrol is a two-player boxed game, set on a hostile jungle world on which nowhere is safe! One player controls a squad of plucky Space Marine Scouts, and the other controls a swarm of horrible Genestealers – it’s a fast-paced game of kill-or-be-killed between two iconic sets of warriors! Inside the box, you’ll find five Space Marine Scout, twelve Genestealers, six Infestations: the markers of imminent Genestealer appearance, and thirty hex tiles.
Overall I think we all should make a little time for some death in the jungle!
