Clash of Clans Board Game Kickstarter Launches

• The Kickstarter campaign for the Clash of Clans tabletop game officially launches today.
• It will offer a miniatures-based experience featuring base building and player-vs-player raids.
• Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid is designed by board game veterans Eric M. Lang and Ken Gruhl.

The announcement that Clash of Clans is coming to tabletop gaming was one of the biggest recent headlines. A new board game, developed through a partnership between Supercell and Maestro Media, is in production, with a Kickstarter campaign scheduled to launch today.

Yes, the countdown is on for Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid on Kickstarter. Designed to stay true to the original game, this tabletop experience will focus heavily on miniatures and include classic mechanics like constructing your base, attacking other players, and more.

Board game enthusiasts have another reason to be excited—the team behind The Epic Raid is packed with talent. Ken Gruhl previously contributed to popular releases such as Life in Reterra, Mantis, and Happy Salmon. Meanwhile, Eric M. Lang is best known for his work on XCOM: The Board Game, which featured an innovative blend of digital and physical gameplay.

Truly Epic

The Clash of Clans tabletop Kickstarter is part of Supercell’s wider strategy to bring its iconic franchise to mainstream audiences. Although the company has offered merchandise before, both this board game and the upcoming Netflix series aim to attract fans who might be hesitant about the classic—though timeless—gameplay of the original Clash of Clans.

The Kickstarter is scheduled to launch today, though no exact time has been announced. Keep an eye on the Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid Kickstarter page throughout the day!
