MERCS: Recon – Counter Threat

About this board game

MERCS: Recon – Counter Threat is a fully cooperative stand-alone game for 1–5 players, with sessions lasting around 90 minutes. Set in the MERCS world, it sends a team of MERCS into an opposing MegaCon location on a dangerous infiltration mission.

Players must fight through the structure’s tight corridors while searching for mission objectives and dealing with the forces guarding the site. The team can capture and interrogate worker-citizens as it works to uncover what it needs and advance toward its ultimate goal: breaching and securing the package.

Recon uses a modular setup, creating a highly replayable experience across missions. Its fog-of-war mechanic helps keep the environment uncertain, while variable agent movement makes every advance through the location feel dynamic.

• Fully cooperative play: Work together as a MERCS infiltration team.
• Modular setup: Explore a replayable arrangement of the opposing location.
• Fog of war: Face uncertainty as the team moves through the structure.
• Escalating security forces: Deal with a growing threat during the mission.
• Breach and clear finale: Build tension toward securing the package.

The game features MERCS’ dynamic, high-quality miniatures alongside an engaging tactical challenge. Every objective, confrontation, and movement through the corridors contributes to the pressure of the operation.

With escalating security and a distinctive end-game breach and clear mechanic, MERCS: Recon – Counter Threat turns a cooperative infiltration into a tense fight to complete the mission before the opposing forces overwhelm the team.
