I'm Super, Thanks For Asking - Hour of Need Painted
/
Board Games - The super hero gene is one that is ripe for making “generic” versions of existing properties to build “unique” worlds. I mean The Boys does it marvelously so why not do something similar with a board game?
These minis are similar in scale to Zombicide and don’t have a ton of details so they’re ideal for the slap-chop dry brush and contrast paint style of painting. I really like this style for board games that have a bunch of miniatures. It gets them painted quickly and they look good on the board. Sure this style isn’t going to win any awards and I wouldn’t use it on more deatiled figure but when you need to get color on stuff quickly it’s amazing.
Hour of Need is just that, here’s what the publisher has to say about it:
The pages of Modern-day Saga Comics are filled with heroes and villains doing battle across both reality and the shared inter-dimensional space of the Astrallacy. While nefarious villains seek power and material wealth, valiant heroes fight to defend those that are caught in the middle of these epic conflicts—it is these everyday people that make reality worth fighting for, and now is their hour of need!
Hour of Need is a cooperative game of comic book action for 1–4 players (or up to 6 players with available expansions). Designed by Adam and Brady Sadler, Hour of Need is the latest installment in their line of Modular Deck System (MDS) games. Set in an original world inspired by modern comic books, Hour of Need puts players in the roles of diverse heroes attempting to thwart dangerous villains from carrying out nefarious deeds!
In each game of Hour of Need, players will need to use their chosen hero decks to tactically solve problems and thwart their chosen villain's schemes, as presented by the chosen issue deck and board. Utilizing simultaneous turns that provides the framework for collaborative strategy, players have to work together to reveal the villain and prepare for the final showdown!
Featuring fast gameplay, highly-detailed miniatures, and a variety of modular fixed decks for heroes, villains, and issues, Hour of Need lets players create their own comic book stories in the MDS Comics world!
