Product Description
Imagine the greatest battle of all time taking place on a battlefield you design. Recommended for ages eight and older, Heroscape Master Set 2: Swarm of the Marro entails an interlocking 3-D battlefield, miniature warriors, and strategic game play. This build-and-battle game set includes 24 beautifully painted miniature warriors and 75 interlocking terrain pieces. There are swamp, water, rock, and land tiles to create and customize your own battlefield. An instruction booklet is provided to help you form the terrain. The pieces click easily into place and the landscape is limited only by your imagination. After you construct the terrain, it is time to form your army with warriors, aliens, acid, drones, and stingers, each with their own strengths. If parents wish to add to the set, expansion packs are available for purchase. NOTE: Other Master sets and expansions can be used to add to the base game.

A worthy Successor
By T. Houseman
Okay, so after over a year of expansion packs, new scenarios, your occasional castle/terrain expansion, Heroscape ups the ante again.At first I was leary of this master set, as it features significantly less units than the original but for the same price. But hey, I figure, the game hasn't let me down so far, so I went for it. Boy was I _not_ sorry!This Master set is truly a massive expansion to the original game, and if you don't have any heroscape yet, a great standalone product too. unlike previous expansions, this new set features an actual 3 scenario campaign, complete with a story line. Wow. The game universe is actually solidifying and it should help the series last that much longer.I was extremely pleased with the units this set contained, and even though it contained 2 of the same heroes from the original master set, their abilities have been updated and they are much more usable/balanced. The game is truly getting better as time goes by. If you are a heroscacpe fan, or a table-top gaming fan in general, I would definitely recommend this master set.The only con I have with it is the same as with any big boxed heroscape set, you can't get the pieces back in after you take them out and will be forced to find an alternative method of storing them (which is okay with me as I have so many expansion sets now storing them in their boxes would take forever to get them out)

The second Master Set is a good addition to the game.
By Carsten Blackmon
This is the second master set to the Hasbro game Heroscape. It takes place in a swamp although the swamp and swamp water tiles have no special rules like other terrain tiles. The number of figures is not as wide as the first master set with three doubles, but the figures are interesting. Two figures, Sgt. Drake Alexander, and Raelin the Kyrie Warrior, even get upgraded. The Marro Hive is interesting to look at and once again shows the attention to detail the makers have int their figures. The battle scenarios also show a gifted team of writers. You might want to take a picture of the way the tiles are stack when you take them out of the box though, if you don't and pull them apart, there is no way you are getting them back in the box. Trust me, I tried that with the first master set and failed so I keep all the tiles in a separate green box.

By Samuel
I've played a lot of games with this set and the new figures. The hive brings a lot of interesting strategies into play for the offensive and defensive side. Including a custom "protect the hive" scenario me and my friends tried out. A great starter set, and even better addition to Heroscape players.
