LIMITED-EDITION HELLBOY IN MEXICO EXPANSION IN STORES NOW
13th Mar 2020

Mantic Games is pleased to
announce a new limited-edition expansion for Hellboy: The Board Game
is in stores now. Working with visionary creator Mike Mignola and Dark Horse
Comics, Mantic has created Hellboy in Mexico featuring new
heroes, new missions and new terrifying villains.
Previously only available as an
optional extra in the Kickstarter campaign, this limited-edition expansion
tells the story of Hellboy’s lost period in Mexico, when he became a Mexican
wrestler, fought vampires alongside three luchador brothers and faced off
against the horrifying Camazotz – a giant wrestling vampire bat!
Available direct from Mantic
Games at www.manticgames.com or from
gaming stores around the world, Hellboy in Mexico is a limited-edition,
one-print expansion that will not be available again once it has sold out.
“We’ve had fantastic success with
Hellboy: The Board Game and the first retail expansion, The Wild Hunt,”
said Ronnie Renton, Mantic Games CEO. “When we were looking at Hellboy
adventures that would translate well into the board game, we just knew the
larger-than-life Mexican encounter would be an absolute blast and provide some
superb miniatures. I mean, who doesn’t want to see Hellboy in a wrestling
outfit?”
Hellboy: The Board Game is
a cooperative experience in which players face off against some of the comic’s
most famous foes. Up to four people take control of iconic B.R.P.D. members –
Hellboy, Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman and Johann Kraus - before exploring gothic
locations, uncovering ancient artifacts and battling one of Hellboy’s most
notorious foes, Rasputin! After launching in April 2019, the game is now available
in multiple languages (French, Italian, Brazilian and Russian) and is on its
third reprint after selling out worldwide.
