Fanhunter: Assault is a board game released in 2018 for 2–6 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 13 and up. It was designed by Francisco Gallego Arredondo and its main mechanics are Hand Management and Set Collection.
ENG: In this card game, set in the Fanhunter universe, players play the part of Resistance relic hunters. Searching for the most unique pieces of memorabilia is hard enough, but trying to sneak past the Fanhunter guards can be deadly. Players work towards their different objectives, making sure to annoy all other players along the way. Players can play in two modes, either campaign or casual. The object of the game is to look for and recover a series of relics and forbidden objects and fighting the guards that protect these objects. The game is played in 3 Phases. During your turn you must first move the adventure forward (by putting cards into play) then they may play up to two actions. The actions available are: Reveal a Phase Card, Play an Ability, Store Cards in your Collection, or Attack Guards. The game ends as soon as the Good Stuff Deck (the deck of cards that replenishes your hand) runs out. At that time players look at the cards they have added to their collections and count their victory points. The winner is the one with the most VP. Contents: 143 cards and 1 manual ESP: En este juego de cartas basado en el universo de Fanhunter los jugadores forman parte de la división de cazadores de reliquias de La Resistencia. Buscar los objetos frikis más exclusivos no es tarea fácil, pero intentar sobrepasar a los Fanhunters que los están vigilando aún es más complicado. Los jugadores intentarán alcanzar sus objetivos, mientras tratan de impedir que los rivales hagan lo mismo. Los jugadores pueden jugar en dos modos distintos: campaña o casual. El objetivo del juego es recuperar reliquias y objetos olvidados mientras machacáis a los guardianes que los protegen. El juego se juega en 3 fases. Durante tu turno debes hacer avanzar la aventura (poniendo las cartas en juego) y después llevar a cabo hasta dos acciones posibles, que pueden ser: revelar una carta de fase, jugar una habilidad, almacenar cartas a tu colección o combatir. El juego termina tan pronto el mazo de albricias (el mazo de cartas que rellena tu mano) se acaba. En ese momento los jugadores toman las cartas que han ido añadiendo a sus colecciones y cuentan los puntos de victoria. El que tenga el mayor número será el ganador.
