Tabletop Gaming News – Mutant Chronicles Collectible Miniatures Game
It has been the setting for a roleplaying game, a miniatures wargame (Warzone), at least three board games (Blood Berets, Fury of the Clansmen, Siege of the Citadel), a collectible card game (Doom Trooper), and, yes, even a movie. Now, the richly-detailed Mutant Chronicles universe gets its own collectible miniatures game . For those of you unfamiliar with either the Art or the Dark Symmetry, Mutant Chronicles is set in the future of our own solar system. The main human forces are the megacorporations, which resemble the old nations from which they evolved: Imperial (UK), Capitol (USA), Mishima (Japan), and Bauhaus (Europe). In addition, there is the fanatical religious organization known as the Brotherhood (think halfway between the Warhammer 40K Imperium and the Catholic church). Humanity is beset on all sides by the Dark Legion, whose demons hail from the planet Nero, and serve five different Dark Apostles: Algeroth, Ilian, Semai, Demnogonis, and Muawijhe. True to the collectible game formula, the Mutant Chronicles CMG includes a Starter (retail $29.95 US) and Boosters (retail $19.95 each US). For this review, Fantasy Flight Games (“FFG”) provided TGN with an advance copy of the complete contents of its Mutant Chronicles CMG Starter. The initial run of Mutant Chronicles miniatures features figures from the factions of Bauhaus, Capitol, the Brotherhood, and Algeroth. The rulebook lists Imperial and Ilian forces as “Coming Soon.” The Starter contains a fixed set of figures (Ezoghoul, Necromutant Defiler, Technomancer, Free Marine Soldier, Martian Banshee Sergeant, and Ranger Elite) and the Boosters will contain an assortment of four figures (one rare, one uncommon, one common, and one two-hex sized figure (either rare or uncommon). You can download a PDF of the Mutant Chronciles rules from the game’s Support Page .
Components
The Mutant Chronicles Starter contains six fixed miniatures, a double-sided poster hex map, eight unique dice, all of the cards for the entire first set of miniatures, and dozens of cardboard counters. The map is on a high-quality poster paper, and very nicely illustrated. Like all poster-paper game boards, this one will undoubtedly wrinkle and tear if not properly cared for. However, it seems to be a heavier paper than many poster maps I have seen, and should hold up to repeated play. The Starter Set comes in a large box that has a molded plastic insert that holds the game cards, dice, maps and has a form fitting section that snuggly holds the six figures in the set. The bottom of the box has a window in it that allows you to see the figures in the box. As an added bonus the molded tray means that it is next to impossible for you to get duplicate figures by accident.
Toss all that in with the recent lack of real support (board games? Collectible cards? Gah!) and my displeasure grows.
