Games with so many moving parts as Monsterpocalypse needs occasional tweaking to make sure everything’s working as intended. That leads to the various Dynamic Updates that Privateer Press releases. Well, the 2022 update is now available. Head over and make sure you’re playing the game correctly.
From the update:
Welcome, Monsterheads! In this Insider, we’ll go over the changes in this year’s Dynamic Update for Monsterpocalypse. There are some exciting adjustments ahead, so let’s dig in.
Why a Dynamic Update: The dynamic update serves as a tool to make balance adjustments, correct toxic-play patterns that have emerged, and fix old wording issues. This year, we wanted to bring some of the least-played models up to the current level of the game, bring down some of the model’s power levels that were a bit over the top, and create a more dynamic tabletop experience.
Let’s begin with buildings. We felt that for the health of the game we would diversify the “junk” options: “junk” buildings are those you want to put on your opponent’s side of the board during the building draft. Since the introduction of the Media Company, this role has been relegated to mostly just the Media Company, along with a few less optimal outliers. With these changes, we hope to not only mix up the “junk” options available to players but also to correct some of the negative play experiences attached to them.
