This board game was released in 1989. It had 2 expansion boxed sets that expanded the core gameplay (Genestealer and Deathwing). It eventually went OOP. There was a reboot in the mid 90's, with improved minis and artwork, but the rules were greatly simplified. That also went OOP.
Well, Games Worlshop is releaseing a 1 time only, 20 year edition of the game. If you ever had even a passing interest in this game in the past, I suggest getting this ASAP. MSRP is 99$, but the game looks absolutely amazing. They went all out on this edition. The minis are fantastic. Every one of them is unique. The quality and quanity is unheard of for a board game.
As for the game itself, it is a modular board game. Marines vs genestealers. Gmaes take about an hour to play. From what I have read, this edition sticks to the first edition rules, with various things included from both if it's expansions.
The game is 99$ while supplies last. I have 2 preordered. This is my favorite game of all time, and this release is legendary.
