What is Halo: Flashpoint?

Halo: Flashpoint is a tactical board game with official minifigures built for two or more players. According to the official website for the pre-launch, this fast-paced game should take between half an hour and 90 minutes to complete.

The game uses a cube-based gaming space to position your mini figures on the 3D board for an immersive and dynamic gameplay experience.

Halo: Flashpoint Story Summary

The story is set in 2560, after the Covenant War. The continuation of humanity is at risk, due to an alien alliance named the Covenant. During gameplay, players will take control of a highly trained Spartan fire team.

Halo: Flashpoint Gameplay

Your aim is to fight various threats (including each other!) while completing the game’s objectives to secure your team's victory across several gameplay scenarios: capture the flag, oddball, and slayer.

This innovative game is simply to wrap your head around, yet there are multiple ways to secure your victory. Therefore, it is challenging enough to keep your interest while you master your preferred tactics in the game.

Although the gameplay can be subject to a lucky dice roll, your tactics, and strategy play the most vital role in the game’s outcome. For example, you can improve your odds depending on your attack position or defence between you and your opponent.
