Unpub Preview: Mighty Heroes and the Monster Zone

As we move towards upcoming Unpub events we’re going to preview some of the games which will be exhibited.

Noah Wright is bringing his game Mighty Heroes and the Monster Zone to the Enchanted Grounds Unpub Mini Saturday April 6, 2013 from 1pm to 7pm. Mighty Heroes, which is what I call it for short, was built on several aspects of "geek culture" that Noah holds near and dear to his heart. He's taken those aspects and created a board card and miniatures game that people are going to love.

Here, take Noah's words for it...

What is your favorite part of Mighty Heroes and the Monster Zone? Mixing Pirates, Ninjas, Robots, Spies, Knights, and Monsters all in one game?! Using special abilities and jumping through wormholes... Whats not to like?

To your knowledge, What do other people find most interesting about Mighty Heroes and the Monster Zone? Most people find the theme exciting, along with the mechanics of combining board game play with card game elements.

What has been the most challenging part of designing Mighty Heroes and the Monster Zone? The most challenging aspect to creating this game had to be balancing the special abilities of each Force while keeping them powerful.

What advice would you give to players attempting Mighty Heroes and the Monster Zone for the first time? New players shouldn't hold back. Play like you mean it and suddenly the game gets a lot more exciting.

What has surprised you most in play-tests of Mighty Heroes and the Monster Zone? I've been surprised at how close the games usually are. Players may get left behind for a short while, only to rocket ahead in a couple of turns. There isn't a clear front runner until there is a winner.

People who like___________ will like Mighty Heroes and the Monster Zone. Why? Munchkin, Risk 2210, Smash Up, and table top war game players will enjoy this game. I know because I am one, and I really like this game.

What do you hope to accomplish at the Enchanted Grounds Unpub Mini Saturday April 6, 2013 from 1pm to 7pm? I hope to build interest in this game, me as a designer, and find support for it.

Tell us anything else you want to say about Mighty Heroes and the Monster Zone that I haven't asked or you haven't said already. I will be interviewing a handful of excited players after the demo's and taking some video so be honest and have fun!
