Monster Hunter World: The Board Game - Ancient Forest (Core Game)

Members of the Fifth Fleet, prepare for the ultimate tabletop monster hunting experience. In a world teeming with massive monsters, every battle is a boss battle!

In this cooperative arena combat board game for 1-4 players set in an open world, it’s not you who dictates the flow of battle, but the monster you hunt — and each one is wildly different.

Tasked with protecting the Astera basecamp, you must track down and slay the fearsome creatures roaming the New World. Use the loot collected from your fallen foes to craft powerful new equipment, so you can take on bigger and badder beasts!

The more monsters you slay, the better the weapons you can craft, the bigger the monsters you can hunt.

Explore the Ancient Forest

With this core set, explore the lush Ancient Forest and the monsters within — greedy Great Jagras, electric Tobi-Kadachi, fiery Anjanath, terrifying Rathalos, and swift Azure Rathalos*. Hunt these dangerous creatures with the Great Sword, Dual Blades, Bow, or Sword & Shield, crafting upgrades and honing your hunting skills with every hard-won piece of monster loot.

Expand your tabletop Monster Hunter: World with the fully compatible Wildspire Waste core set and other expansions, featuring new monsters to battle against and new hunters to battle with!

*To hunt Azure Rathalos, use the Azure Rathalos cards with the Rathalos mini
