Among other things, I caught up with Chris Birch to talk about the up and coming Mass Effect – Priority Hagalaz board game.
The Reapers have invaded the Galaxy and the Citadel Races are on the verge of losing the war. In a race against time, Commander Shepard must lead their squad through a crashed Cerberus cruiser on the remote world Hagalaz to uncover its sinister secrets, but deep within the shattered cruiser stir dangers far worse than the Cerberus forces that guard them.
MASS EFFECT – Priority Hagalaz is a co-operative, story-driven game for 1-4 players designed by Eric W Lang and Calvin Wong Tze Loon 黃子倫.
A branching, narrative campaign allows for multiple playthroughs with a different experience every time. The story changes in response to your actions – your early choices influence later missions. Gather Shepard’s squad from a selection of teammates from the Mass Effect trilogy: Liara, Tali, Wrex, and Garrus. Customise and upgrade your squad through experience and optional loyalty missions.
