"Giant Monster Rampage: Rage of Monsters Prototype" Topic

Giant Monster Rampage: Rage of Monsters is a kaiju boardgame I have been working on for the past year and it is the reason I haven't been very active here or on the Radioactive Press newsgroup during that time.

The game was almost a licensed product, but that fell through "for now". I am hoping, by releasing the prototype, that I can "fine tune" the game and hopefully get it into the hands of a publisher who can help me bring it to market.

The game focuses on combat between monsters, but includes elements common to many kaiju movies such as anti-kaiju vehicles and crowds of fleeing citizens.

I plan on expanding the game with new rules and monsters if there is enough interest in the game.

Got it!

I certainly need to pick this up. My son will be quite interested in it, too.

"Is this a boardgame version of Giant Monster Rampage?"

I have gotten this question several times and thought it was good enough to deserve its own post.

Giant Monster Rampage: Rage of Monsters is NOT a boardgame version of the Toy Battle System game Giant Monster Rampage. It is its own unique system.

The reason I used Giant Monster Rampage in the title of the boardgame is because the two games use the same back story and characters.

Here is a picture of two prototype game boards set up to play a game of GMR: Rage of Monsters. (NOTE: Most scenarios use 4 or more boards)

The figures on the board are "super deformed" gashapon figures that measure approximately 1.5" tall.

The blocks are Megabloks mid-sized (one size up from standard building blocks) toddler blocks.

If anyone is looking for something better than building blocks to use for city blocks, these paper buildings (the single square ones) might be what you are looking for: PDF link

It appears that the buildings were designed to be used with the Pacific Rim Heroclix figures, but they will work just as well with GMR: Rage of Monsters.

To anyone who has tried out the prototype, would you be interested in a super powered humans (Atomic Super Humans) boardgame using the same basic system as GMR: Rage of Monsters?

The game play would be essentially the same, only it would be themed (scaled down)to super powered human battles.

It has been almost a year since I first released the GMR: Rage of Monsters boardgame prototype. In that time, I have taken the feedback I received and made a few changes to the game and uploaded a new print and play PDF for the game on Wargame Vault.

Those interested in the game can find a short preview here: link
