In many cases, contributors are also awarded a finished version of the game and additional perks. Primal: The Awakening is a full-fledged miniature board game. It is based in a fantasy world and involves monster hunting. The game’s campaign is currently underway, and so far, it has managed to receive $1,881,723 in pledges against a goal of $181,956. Read on as we discuss what the campaign is all about and the campaign’s resounding success.

What Is Primal: The Awakening?

Primal: The Awakening is a cooperative board game based in the fantasy world of Thyra. It can have 1 to 4 players who take on the avatar of hunters and be part of an epic campaign.  You get to fight monstrous creatures and unravel mysteries of the monsters’ origins and learn more about Thyrea’s history. All of this leads to an epic finale.  Players get to engage in tactical combat using cards and can enjoy customized campaigns that can last for days. Each board game comes with 17 large-scale miniatures and over 1,200 cards. The miniatures include:
  • 4 hunter models
  • 12 monster models
  • 1 extra-large monster model 
Cards include hunter decks, monster decks, quest cards, forge cards, equipment cards, resource cards, and one alchemist card. The miniature models are customized with impressive attention to detail. Each hunter also comes with their own action cards and master cards.  Monsters have custom behavior cards, stance cards, and peril and objective cards, as well. These cards depict their distinctive combat behavior and how they attack specific areas. The cards also outline the special abilities of each monster. Moreover, hunters can use these cards to discover a monster’s weaknesses and vulnerabilities and use them to their advantage.  Every monster offers a unique challenge to hunters, and hunters must work together to defeat it. They will have to complete certain objectives and utilize various strategies to do so.  The board game also comes with various terrains, tokens, a quest board, a combat board, a scenario book, and a rulebook.
