Mechs vs. Minions
Players cooperate as four inventors who pilot custom mechs against waves of AI-controlled minions across a story-driven campaign. Each mission uses modular boards and scenario objectives; players build a sequence of command cards to program their mechs, then reveal and resolve those commands to move, attack, and interact with the map. Teamwork and planning are required to adapt to evolving threats and mission-specific challenges. Campaign play spans ten missions for 2–4 players, with individual sessions typically lasting about 60–90 minutes.

Garfield3.0 #Coop #Drafting #Programming Ok, the components are great. But the gameplay? Hm, it felt like puzzling. I really have to think about buying it or not. Because I can easily place 4 other games on my shelf instead of MvM... We played the first mission and it took us about 2 hours to complete it! After a while it was just boring repetitive.

AmberKnight8.0 Mechanics tend to become repetitive as you go along the campaign, and it is not so much fun as in the beginning. I would still play it from time to time.
