Well I guess it's better than Star Citizen and you get actual items...

These high ticket board games are not like Candy Land, or Parcheesi. Nemesis has multiple characters you can play, each has different abilities, there are multiple scenarios, different maps, as well as different enemies to face.

Monster Hunter plays a lot like the video game, it has beautifully sculpted miniatures. Your character advances in levels as you play different adventures. You can upgrade your gear.

HeroQuest (you may be familiar with this one from the late 80s / early 90s) has a ton of miniatures, and terrain/scenery. It has multiple quests, which allow for character advancement.

Of the games I listed I think only Nemesis and Gloomhaven are actually $150 or over. The rest are in the $120-130 range.

A lot of the higher end games are more in the $100 bracket.
