Minion Hunter was a board game spin-off of the Dark Conspiracy roleplaying game series by the late, great Game Designers Workshop (GDW). It’s one of the earlier examples of cooperative gameplay I’m aware of (If any of y’all can think of earlier cooperative board games, let me know in the comments).

I’ve got more detail about Minion Hunter and its expansion pack – Minion Nation – over at my reference site page for Dark Conspiracy. Also there you’ll find some background on the game from David Nilsen (Traveller Line Manager, and later GDW Chief of Design).

Today, I wanted to share some photos of a nice condition Minion Hunter box set that arrived in the shop.

Minion Nation (GDW 2115) was a separate release. Note the cover art is literally moments after the scene in the main game art. Very cool. Artist is uncredited, but there are initials “DM ’92”  at the bottom.
