Games Workshop - Space Marine Adventures (Boxed Game)

Love this game. So easygoing

Filled a niche for a game to play with my 2 x KS2/3 children. Simple, but nonetheless taxing, collaborative and yet the Necrons (although, as other reviews say, not moving - but they drift) are no slouch.

For as many years as I can remember I’ve always painted miniatures but haven’t had the time to play full GW games. Well it’s now changed. I’ve been playing this for the past week and it’s a great little game with a short play time of around half an hour. Really easy to learn rules. Definitely worth picking up if your looking for a game that’s quick and easy but still has miniatures to play with. Feels like a mini space hulk in a way.

Primeiramente vou falar sobre como o produto veio: Chegou numa embalagem reciclável padrão da Amazon sem plástico bolha ou qualquer outra proteção a caixa, mesmo assim veio com a caixa inteira e sem amassados. O tempo de entrega foi 3 dias mais rápido que o esperado pela entrega dita pelo sistema de entrega da Amazon.As peças do jogo são boas e detalhadas, devo avisar que as miniaturas NÃO VEM PINTADAS, elas ficam apenas nas cores básicas das facções dos protagonistas e se vc quiser pode pintar elas, como qualquer outra miniatura do Hobby de war gaming ou de RPG, porém pelo preço, fico meio triste que os inimigos (nesse caso os Necrons) são fichas de papelão invés de miniaturas também, principalmente pelo preço de +- 40 dólares.O jogo é divertido porém tem 3 níveis de Dungeon para jogar e depois de entender e jogar por um tempo, o jogo fica meio repetitivo, algo meio que um padrão pelos jogos da Games Workshop que não são do War Gaming deles, mas é bom jogar de vez em quando depois de "cansar" de jogar as primeiras vezes.As regras do jogo são bem básicas e fáceis de entender.Recomendo o jogo, mas se vc gostar da parte de pintura que o hobby oferece, vc vai tirar mais proveito do jogo de tabuleiro.

Space Marine Adventures is a fun board game that offers a good blend of strategy, action, and thematic immersion. I bought this game to introduce my son to the Warhammer Universe. It worked, he really liked the game and read a few Warhammer books to get more of the lore.1. Engaging Gameplay:The game is designed to be both exciting and accessible. The mechanics are straightforward, allowing players to quickly grasp the rules and dive into the action. Each mission is filled with tension and excitement, as players work together to overcome challenges and achieve objectives.2. Cooperative Play:One of the game’s strengths is its cooperative nature. Great for playing with your kids so nobody gets stomped. Players must collaborate to succeed, fostering a strong sense of teamwork and camaraderie. This makes it a great choice for family game nights or groups of friends looking for a shared adventure.3. High-Quality Components:The miniatures and game pieces are well-crafted and detailed, adding to the overall immersion. The board and cards are sturdy and visually appealing, with vibrant artwork that captures the essence of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.4. Thematic Immersion:The game does a great job of immersing players in the Warhammer 40,000 setting. The narrative elements and mission objectives are well-integrated, making you feel like you’re part of a larger story. This is especially appealing to fans of the franchise, but even those new to the universe will find it engaging.5. Replayability:With multiple missions and variable objectives, Space Marine Adventures offers a good level of replayability. Each playthrough presents new challenges and strategic decisions, keeping the game fresh and interesting over multiple sessions.Minor Drawbacks:1. Limited Complexity:For more experienced gamers or those looking for a deeply strategic experience, the game might feel a bit simplistic. While the accessibility is a strength, it may leave some players wanting more depth and complexity in the mechanics.2. Setup Time/Minis:The setup process can be a bit time-consuming, especially for new players. Organizing the components and understanding the initial setup instructions requires some patience, but this becomes easier with familiarity. The minis are really cool but require some assembly. They are all colored differently which is nice.Overall, Space Marine Adventures is a highly enjoyable board game that offers a perfect mix of excitement, strategy, and thematic immersion. Its cooperative gameplay and accessible mechanics make it an excellent choice for both fans of the Warhammer 40,000 universe and those new to it. Despite minor drawbacks, it delivers a fun and engaging experience that’s well worth the investment. Highly recommended as a "gateway game" or a first board game for you friends or family.

Jeu assez simple et rapide (35/40 min quand on connaît les règles), facile de jouer seul.Le concept est simple: On gère les héros (avec de vraies figurines) et les ennemis (juste des jetons) progressent vers nous dans les couloirs et nous "tombent" dessus si on ne les élimines pas assez rapidement.Plusieurs map différentes et 3 niveaux de difficulté qui donnent un peu plus de variété et de temps de vie au jeu.De nombreuses cartes "items" pour les marines pour leur donner des capacités supplémentaires différentes à chaque partie.Mon avis : Surtout sympa pour jouer facilement en solo.

This is a great entry level game into the Warhammer 40k mythos. Easy to play but there are plenty of playthroughs on YouTube to help out. I've played this loads. There are two expansion products available - difficult to get hold of now - Space Marine Adventures: Rescue, and Space Marine Adventures: Recon. These each add 3 more Space Marines and a new mission and a few cards. There is also a themed paint set (only contains paints and a paint brush). Finally, the most difficult thing to acquire is a set of 5 Promo Special cards that were available in White Dwarf magazine December 2018. You don't need any of these extras to enjoy the game though.

2 days late but other than everything was good.
