Rambo: The Board Game is a thematic, cooperative, tactical, miniatures, scenario-based campaign wargame that allows 1-4 players to experience the events they remember from the film as well as embark on new, never-before-seen missions based on the events from the films Rambo: First Blood Part 2 and Rambo 3. The game provides a spiral-bound mission scenario book. Each mission tells a story and takes the players on a unique adventure to various locations to save POWs, raid jungle encampments, survive a treacherous jungle, battle on boats, and more! Missions unlock new gear and tactics cards to help players customize their experience and allow for high replayability and great tactical strategy. Taking actions and engaging in combat is done without random dice, but with a card-based tactical system in which the player is in control and where every choice can be life or death! Players choose from iconic characters each with highly detailed miniatures such as John Rambo, Col. Trautman, Co Bao, and all new characters created for the game! Each hero has unique abilities and customization options as well! You control how to approach the mission: Do you go in guns blazing? Or do you take a more stealthy approach? Perhaps you set a trap for the enemy? It's up to you to decide and lead Rambo and his team to victory in Rambo: The Board Game! —description from Everything Epic
