The crew of the Normandy has one more mission. It is the year 2186, and the Reapers have invaded the galaxy. Because the Council ignored Commander Shepard's warnings, the Citadel Races are overwhelmed and on the verge of losing the war. Aboard the Normandy, Shepard carries out missions to prepare the Crucible, an ancient alien superweapon, for a last-chance attempt to defeat the Reapers. It's a race against time, and Shepard must seize every possible advantage.

On the remote world Hagalaz, a research cruiser from the terrorist organization Cerberus has crashed directly in the path of a deadly storm. With little time before the storm hits, Shepard must lead a squad through the cruiser to uncover its sinister secrets and keep them out of the hands of the enemy. However, the ship holds more dangers than just its former crew. Deep within the shattered cruiser stir creatures and enemies far worse than the Cerberus forces that guard them...

Mass Effect: The Board Game – Priority: Hagalaz is a co-operative, story-driven game set during the events of the video game Mass Effect 3. A branching, narrative campaign allows for multiple playthroughs with a different experience every time. Card-driven AI and evolving stories respond to your actions, with your early choices influencing later missions.

Gather Shepard's squad from a selection of teammates from the Mass Effect trilogy: Liara, Tali, Wrex, and Garrus. Customize and upgrade your squad's abilities, equipment, and powers as they gain experience. Enhance them further by unlocking unique powers with optional loyalty missions.

Pronouns on the player boards...

Do not create the product around your social, political, religious, or worldviews. Just create a game that players want. What do players want? They want to escape and simply have fun. They can get all the political and social stuff on CNN or Fox News. This of course is just the opinion of one customer. oh yeah, the gameplay is the main reason I'm giving this a low review. I expected more from Eric Lang, but he phoned it in hoping the IP would carry it. He couldn't have been more dead wrong.

Where to start?
How about I list the pros and the cons?

Pros:
This thing is beautiful from the art to the fonts used in the various books. It's stunning.
The Game mechanics are well thought out and at first may have you scratching your head, but once you've played a mission or two, you'll be wanting more.
Surprising amount of strategy involved as you'll be relying on other crew members to accomplish your objectives. There is no "board" to speak of. But rather you will be using a book as each missions map. At first it seems an odd choice, but it works well. Especially the inclusion of the dry erase marker. Character sheets and mission map and mission book all have spots to mark various things such as XP, which you can use to unlock new abilities, to mission specific goals and more.
What this title lacks in form factor, it absolutely nails the Mass Effect feel more than making up for it. Strategy game makers should take note. This whole game feels quality.

As far as cons go, my only gripe is that I'm afraid I will blow through the campaign quickly and I'm not sure how much replayability the game will have beyond trying it with different players sitting down with you.

I'm hoping the devs are able to add expansions. It would be great to see these mechanics taken further past a Mass relay and get to explore the Mass Effect universe.

9/10
Would highly recommend.
