Kickstarter Campaign For The Banner Saga Warbands Tabletop Game Launches Next Week
As previously announced, Banner Saga developer Stoic and miniatures board game developer MegaCon Games are collaborating on The Banner Saga Warbands tabletop game, which they hope to crowdfund via Kickstarter. That campaign is slated to go live November 12.
The dice-less miniatures board game is designed to feature the same tactical combat and choice-driven gameplay of its video game counterpart. Work on Warbands has lasted nearly a year, and the companies are hoping to raise money to take the game to manufacturing. You'll find photos of game pieces, the board, and box at the end of the article.
While the campaign doesn't launch until next week, you can still visit Warband’s Kickstarter page to sign up to receive new information in the meantime. In the meantime, be sure to check out our review of the The Banner Saga, as well as the trailer for the upcoming sequel.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
