Square Enix has released Final Fantasy: Moogle Bounty Mayhem Board Game, a charmingly detailed game designed by board game designer Seiji Kanai, known for the award-winning game Love Letter, which won 4th place at the 2014 Deutscher Spielepreis (DSP). This made him the first Japanese entrant to place in the competition.

In a message to media via a release, designer Kanai said, “While the game is a trendy, short-duration game, it is a challenging game in which the cards and intentions of the players are intricately intertwined. I hope you enjoy the game along with Mr. Ito’s wonderful illustrations!”

Seiji Kanai is one of Japan’s leading board game designers. Each playthrough unfolds uniquely based on the combination of moogles and monsters, encouraging players to engage in multiple, short rounds. In addition, all cards feature newly illustrated artwork by Ryoma Ito, who oversaw the beautiful art design for Final Fantasy XII.

What is Final Fantasy: Moogle Bounty Mayhem Board Game?

In Final Fantasy: Moogle Bounty Mayhem Board Game, players will step into the shoes of one of six quirky moogle siblings. Each armed with unique abilities, players will battle monsters from the Final Fantasy XII universe. Every time you play, each game promises a fresh and thrilling experience with endless combinations of moogles and monsters, keeping the excitement alive through fast-paced, bite-sized rounds. 

While the quick pace is sure to resonate with existing board game fans, the tabletop game also offers something for Final Fantasy fans who may not play tabletop games to jump in too. Final Fantasy: Moogle Bounty Mayhem Board Game features original, charmingly stylized artwork by Final Fantasy XII Art Supervisor Ryoma Ito. This vibrant, easy to learn and hard to master game is as much a visual treat as it is a fun challenge fit for all ages.

To play, players become one of the six moogle siblings and are asked to defeat monsters in various locations to complete “Mob Hunts.” Each player uses a unique set of cards corresponding to their moogle and competes against each other in Mob Hunts by casting cards against monsters.

Cards and monsters have a variety of effects, making it important to think of the right combinations. Some cards can also be played face down, which means that strategizing against your opponents is the key to victory.
