Step Into Simon Stålenhag's Stunning Retro Sci-Fi World in the Cooperative Board Game launched today by Free League
Step into the amazing world of the Loop. Tales From the Loop - The Board Game by Free League Publishing, based on the works by acclaimed visual storyteller Simon Stålenhag, has launched today and is available in the Free League webshop and in retail stores world-wide.
In Tales From the Loop - The Board Game, you and your friends play cooperatively to investigate the mysteries originating from the Loop, a huge underground science facility with strange effects on the suburban landscapes around it.
You take the roles of local kids that investigate whatever phenomena that threaten the islands (or perhaps just the local video store), and hopefully stop them. Each day starts at school, but as soon as the bell rings you can use whatever time you have before dinner and homework to go exploring!
Tales From the Loop The Board Game includes eight unique scenarios as well as six high-quality miniatures of Simon Stålenhag's robot designs.
The Release Includes:
Tales From the Loop - The Board Game
Invasive Species expansion
The Runaway expansion

Tales From the Loop The Board Game is based on the works by the internationally acclaimed visual storyteller Simon Stålenhag. The narrative art books Tales From the Loop and Things From the Flood, published by Free League, stunned the world with a vision of an alternate Scandinavia in the 1980s and ‘90s, where technology invaded tranquil landscapes to form an entirely new universe of the eerie and the nostalgic.

For the past week black vans and agents in suits have been seen in the area around the Loop. Rumors have it that they are searching for a spy...
Both expansions includes a brand new scenario, a new designed miniature as depicted in the art by Simon Stålenhag, as well as cards and sheets. The miniatures supplied are unpainted. The expansions requires the core game to play.
