ARMELLO: THE BOARD GAME LAUNCHES ON KICSKTARTER

League of Geeks :

MELBOURNE — Armello: The Board Game, an adaptation of the critically acclaimed video game Armello, has launched on Kickstarter, already exceeding its funding goal in its first day of crowdfunding. Published by Australian publisher King of the Castle in partnership with Quillsilver Studio and Fire Opal Media, the board game was designed by Ron Heinsoo, lead designer of the 4th Edition of Dungeons & Dragons.

The video game Armello was released in 2015 by League of Geeks following a successful Kickstarter campaign and quickly received praise for its digital implementation of board game mechanics. The board game features the same colorful world and characters of the video game and many of the same mechanics, while making a few necessary rules changes to better suit physical play.  
   
“We’re really pleased to be bringing Armello full circle back to where it began: on the tabletop, and on Kickstarter,” said Andre Bishop, director of King of the Castle. “We can’t think of a better way to celebrate the upcoming 10th anniversary of Armello.”
“I'm so excited for players to get their hands on a physical edition of Armello!” said Blake Mizzi at League of Geeks. “To play the physical board game of Armello is such a delight, it's a wonderfully familiar experience. They've captured all the essence of the digital game and the magic that made it so special, then translated that into a game you can play in person with your friends.”

Armello: The Board Game is on Kickstarter through April 4, 2024. Learn more at: www.armelloboardgame.com.
