This War Of Mine Getting The Tabletop Board Game Treatment
This War of Mine is getting a board game adaptation and its creators are calling it an, "instant-play game, with no need to read the manual before starting the adventure."
The game is being made in collaboration with the original video game's developer, 11 Bit Studios, and designers Michal Oracz and Jakub Wisniewski. Oracz has plenty of board game credits to their name, and Wisniewski worked on the recent Dying Light. As mentioned above, the goal for the game is to require reading the directions unnecessary, broaden the original game’s universe, and focus on human interactions and group decision-making.
The game is planned for release in 2016. You can read our review of the This War of Min video game by heading here.
