Get ready to face even more dangerous creatures in Monster Hunter World: The Board Game – Picking Bones! This expansion introduces three brand-new monsters, including the Tzitzi-Ya-Ku with its blinding flash attacks, the Great Girros that paralyzes you with its venom, and the fearsome Radobaan rolling like a ball of spikes. In addition to the beasts, you'll get access to 15 new campaign quests to extend your journey and 9 arena quests for quick and intense boss battles against any monster, at any level, using any of the 14 available hunters. The narrative also gets a special touch with choices that shape your adventure in the Coral Highlands and Rotten Vale regions. And for the gearheads out there, the expansion includes all craftable weapons from each monster, just like in the video game, allowing all 14 hunters to create their favorite gear. It's a chance to relive the thrill of the hunt with unprecedented challenges and more customization options for your team.
