Paradox Interactive is turning a number of its major strategy and city-building sim series into tabletop games through Kickstarter, the company announced today.
While the company announced it would make cardboard versions of Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron, and Cities: Skylines, Crusader Kings gets top billing, and will be the first game to have its Kickstarter campaign. Behind the board game rendition is Free League Publishing, who made Mutant Year Zero and Tales From the Loop. If a Crusader Kings board game sounds appealing, you can back the project, which has already met its funding goal, right here.
Our Take
I'm curious to see the results, since Paradox's games can be huge and intricate. To soapbox for a bit, if Paradox can turn its games into board games, this means adapting Advance Wars in the same couldn't be that much harder. Make it happen, Nintendo!
