A new board game based on the popular 90s TV show Power Rangers has launched on Kickstarter and it has reached its funding target within just 8 hours.
Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid is a co-operative experience that can play between two and five players and fans of the franchise can back the game for an initial price of $75 (around £59) excluding shipping costs.
In the game players take on the role of a Power Ranger and defend earth against Rita Repulsa, an infamous villain from the series and the original movie.
It includes unique combat decks for each Ranger as they work together to fight various monsters and foot soldiers in different locations.
Backers of the game can expect it to delivered around July 2019, but as this is a Kickstarter there is no guarantee of the exact time it will be ready to be shipped out.

Backers can increase their pledge to get two exclusive expansion packs that includes extra villains plus the Green Ranger and White Ranger, but it will see the cost of the game go up to $150 (around £118).
For the die-hard fans there is also an all-in pledge costing $240(£189) that includes a Shattered Grid expansion and a Megazord miniature.
