Minion Hunter - Components

Components

The game consists of numerous pieces: a game board, six player markers, four minion markers, a stack of Plot cards, a collection of equipment cards, several denominations of currency, and a pad of character sheets. An additional six sided and ten sided die are required for play.

The game board is a stylized map of the United States as presented in the Dark Conspiracy sourcebook. The metroplexes are highlighted, as are routes of travel between them. Around the edge of the board is a "Career Track" that gives players opportunities to acquire equipment and to boost stats. Between the bottom of the US map and the career track is another scale numbered 1 through 20 used to track how advanced the Minion Plots are becoming. There is also a three space "Hospital" track that is used to track the healing of characters after a failed encounter. Finally there is also a short scale used to advance Plot cards until they mature.

The six player markers have pictures of various Minion Hunters with various color schemes to help further differentiate them. Players may pick whatever marker they would like to use.

The four minion markers depict four minion races well known to regular players of the Dark Conspiracy RPG. These markers are used to track the advancement of each race's world domination plots.

Each plot card lists a metroplex on the back and either a creature, random encounter, or red herring on the front.

The equipment cards come in either a blue background (to indicate rare or empathic items) or a white background, and each item has a listed cost and details any stat or movement bonuses it provides.

The currency comes in denominations of 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000, and 50000, and is used for a variety of purposes throughout the game.

The Character Sheets provide a space for the character name and boxes in which to track the four stats in the game: Combat, Contacts, Stalking, and Empathy. All of these stats start at 1 and increase or decrease over the course of the game.
