![]() Other than that, we don’t have any details on how the game will work. ![]() It was scheduled to be delivered in February of 2020, but like most Kickstarter projects, was delayed and is now said to be on the boat from China with fulfillment in the near future. ![]() Their only other game is Imperium: The Contention which was funded on Kickstarter in the Summer of 2019. If you are like me when you heard that news and said “who?”, that’s because they are relatively new to publishing. The big news dropped today is that publisher Contention Games will be bringing Slay the Spire The Board Game to Kickstarter in Spring of 2021. ![]() However, you do get to keep cards you’ve unlocked, making future runs a tad easier.īut I’m not here to gush over the video game, although if you haven’t played it get, go get it now. Being a roguelike, once you die, you have to start over from the beginning. Rooms range from monsters to defeat, to shops to buy upgrades, to treasure chests to open. Whichever character you choose, you must take branching paths up through the tower as you try and survive. Each character has their own unique spin, such as the Ironclad who’s basically just a big tough guy or The Silent who is a rogue-theme huntress. This roguelike deck builder has players taking one of four heroes up through the spire to try and defeat the BBEG (big bad evil guy). It looks like an exciting addition to the tabletop space, and a delight for solo players of the video game who always wished they could play it with others.One of my addictions this year has been the mobile game Slay the Spire and I’m guessing I’m not alone in that regard. The beauty of Slay the Spire is in the wild combos and plays you can create, like building a character that never runs out of action points thanks to regeneration, or one that throws 20 daggers at the enemy every time they get hit. The map board also has the signature look of the video game’s overworld map, with forking dungeon paths. There are more than 80 unique cards for each of these characters, making for dozens of combinations. There are lots of familiar faces, with mini-figures and player boards for each of the four possible characters. The board game, backed at the “Slayer’s Pledge” reward tier, includes more than 730 cards total, spread across events, relics, character cards, curses, potions, and more. The board game makes those virtual cards real, with an art style that appears incredibly faithful to the video game. Each playthrough unlocks additional cards and relics, which players can use to make their characters more powerful (and more chaotic) on subsequent runs. The video game requires strategic choices at every turn, from the path you’ll take - and whether you’ll fight monsters, heal at a campfire, burn cards, or buy up stronger cards at a merchant - to building a deck that works synergistically. Players select a starting character (Ironclad, Silent, Defect, or Watcher) with a unique deck, which they use in a series of challenges. Slay the Spire, the video game, is a t ruly excellent deck-builder and roguelike. Slay the Spire: The Board Game will be cooperative for one to four players, in contrast to the original’s solo play. The board game looks to be a fairly faithful adaption of the video game, but with a small tweak. Slay the Spire: The Board Game’s Kickstarter, run by Contention Games, reached its funding goal in six minutes before hitting $1 million on its first day live. Hit video game Slay the Spire is getting a board game adaptation, and funding looks to be going well.
