Metal Miniatures Continue To Impress From HINT Board Game
June 5, 2016 by brennon
While having metal miniatures in your game isn't that normal for a board game the folks behind Human Interface: Nakamura Tower have shown off some more of their work that is going into making what is possibly the best Cyberpunk range out there.
Here you can see one of their big exo-suits which is armed to the teeth with all manner of guns and quirky electronic doo-dads. This would be a terrifying prospect to any soldier or enhanced being in the world of HINT but imagine if you were simply a regular ganger?
You can see the suit here alongside some of the more standard human-sized miniatures. It towers over them and looks very commanding. I can't wait to see how this game turns out and what kind of response it gets after a bit more time in the hands of fans.

Those do look really nice.
they can impress as much as they like , but only when they get here…
Is it late? Genuine question, I’ve totally lost track of which Kickstarters are due to land when.
Hmm, that suggests I ought to fewer Kickstarters.
A little (6 months maybe) but the company behind it has been in constant and regular communication (they have updated us on progress every Friday without fail). I believe shipping starts on Tuesday (tomorrow).
Crikey! I really have lost touch.
Can’t wait for this stuff. 🙂
ooooooo shiney!
@synthetik: As I replied in the last article on hint your comment is a little unfair, as the vast majority of Kickstarters that are late, and this one was well on track until the fans demanded a rewrite of the rules, one they had all of the miniatures ready for delivery months ago and then they started a rules redux only to finish them and then get screwed by their printers. They do a great job of keeping us updated, rain or shine they have done well to update we the backers events Friday. If you are upset at HINT,… Read more »
What was the purpose of the rules re-write? Just clarification or altering how the game works?
@zethnar a bit of both. They demonstrated the game at several shows Including Essen Spiel and I think feedback played a big part in their decision to do a major overhaul. However as a backer of this I can say categorically that the team have not kept anything from us, have maintained regular communication (as a minimum there has been an update every single Friday) and I personally don’t see any major issues with their behaviour. Projects are often late, this isn’t unique to kickstarter and I think that people need to realise that when they make their pledges and… Read more »
It was some months ago, but as I remember it’s a bit from both columns A & B, there were a few things that the backers called out as being a bit off about th game mechanics from the videos they intially put out about the mechanics of the game, but the effort was put more into tuning based on feedback than a fundamental ground up rewrite. The rules are now available for download from HINT’s website, and I must admit that they seem better than what was intially put to the backers that part of the project has been… Read more »
