The Mandalorian: Adventures allows players to experience a new part of the Star Wars universe on their tabletops. Navigating unique maps and missions, players must co-operate to accomplish their goals and avoid defeat. Play as one of eight unique characters, each with their own deck of cards and strategies that will help you fight enemies and solve dilemmas to complete mission objectives. All of the action takes place in an illustrated map book as players recreate iconic moments from season 1 of the hit Disney+ series. With an intuitive system that's easy to teach, the game grows with new rules, components, and mission types added over time – some even featuring a hidden traitor mechanism... A Cooperative Game of Daring Missions: Re-live some of the most iconic moments from The Mandalorian Disney+ series! You and up to three friends must work together, relying on each other’s skills and wits to overcome dangerous challenges. Plan your moves carefully and strive to avoid crises! Be the Hero: Play as The Mandalorian and 7 of his most recognizable allies, each with a personalized set of skills. Take advantage of Greef Karga’s underworld connections, deploy emergency repairs as IG-11, or unleash The Mandalorian’s lethal arsenal. Discover exciting synergies between characters and utilize each other’s strengths to complete your objectives! Live the Adventure: Cooperation is key as swarms of enemies will hinder your progress through unique missions. Employ clever card play to traverse distinct maps, deal devastating blows to enemies, gather valuable intel, and plan out your next moves. Beware! Bombastic gambits will draw the attention of your foes, and may trigger even greater perils. Expand Your Horizons: Each play will reward you with tantalizing new content that enhances your game in novel ways. Some will grant new skill cards for your characters, increasing their power and unleashing new combinations of abilities. Others will unlock additional ways to play, including a Hidden Motives mode that will make you wary of your once-trusted teammates. The game grows with your expertise, delivering enough variable content to keep you coming back for more." —description from the publisher ************************************************* Subscribe for new videos ❤️ and hit the notification bell 🔔 for updates https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS3nQCBdRehEuMDZA9ztAWg?sub_confirmation=1 Shop https://www.thenerdshelves.com/shop All proceeds go to The BC Children's Hospital website http://www.thenerdshelves.com Discord https://discord.gg/NRqEES5cbn Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/164157464310404/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/the_nerd_shelves/Twitter https://twitter.com/Thenerdshelves email thenerdshelves@gmail.com
