3D Gameplay for Total Immersion!
Planet of the Apes – The Miniatures Board Game immerses you in the world of the movies with spectacular components. In addition to boards representing different environments (forest, outposts, swamps, etc.), numerous character cards, special-sided dice and tokens of all kinds, the game features not only finely sculpted figures of the apes and their human attackers, but also 30 cm high trees that the apes can climb, giving them all sorts of advantages. You can place up to 4 apes per tree.
A Wide Variety of Miniatures
The Planet of the Apes universe is particularly rich, so it’s not surprising that the game’s miniatures are numerous and varied. In the core box, you’ll get 47 miniatures: 24 apes including 4 heroes (Caesar, Maurice, Rocket and Luca), 20 human soldiers (including 4 squad leaders and 4 ‘donkeys’, renegade apes who have joined the human cause) and 3 trees. During the Gamefound campaign, we’ll be offering a Reward Box that will fill up daily with new components, including new miniatures. The optional expansions add new characters such as apes on horseback, ape craftsmen, gorilla shock troops, and new 3D scenery to replace the tokens in the core box. With such beautiful material, you’ll probably want to paint your figures!
A Dive into the Forest
The Forest board in the core box offers a number of different scenarios, all of which are highly replayable. Once you’ve chosen a scenario, you’ll need to place the trees (usually three) on the board as shown in the scenario setup diagram, but very often you’ll also need to place scenery elements that have an effect in the game: rocks that the gorillas can throw at their enemies, piles of wood that the apes can assemble to make barricades or pyres, tunnels that allow the apes to go underground to reach another part of the board, bushes, and so on. The diorama on the left is an upgrade of the basic forest board that some do-it-yourselfers might want to build.
Just like the movies
With such rich, detailed game material, Planet of the Apes – The Miniatures Board Game offers a unique gaming experience. The game system itself is highly tactical, but having all the protagonists represented by detailed minis (rather than cardboard counters) that you move around the board adds to the fun. It’s like watching a show unfold before your eyes, but you’re the actor! And you’re going to do everything in your power to make sure the story has a happy ending. You’ll need to be a good tactician… and a great leader of apes!
