A table adaptation Skyrim It is coming soon. Modiphius Entertainment announced that it was doing The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim The Board Game, with plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign on GameFound later this year. Few details were provided about the game, other than the basic description that it would be “an epic adventure board game in Skyrim for 1-4 players”. Modiphius is also the creator of The Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms, a skirmish miniature game with a variety of cooperative and competitive modes that uses characters from the popular fantasy video game franchise.
The main news of the announcement is that Modiphius is choosing to raise money for the game through GameFound instead of Kickstarter. Although Kickstarter is the default crowdfunding editor for board game publishers, GameFound is a website founded by Marcin Świerkot, CEO of board game publisher Awaken Realms. Board game campaigns represent approximately one-third of Kickstarter’s annual revenue, and a major competitor in that space can be big news in the table industry.
Originally launched in 2011, Skyrim sold over 30 million copies and was released on two generations of consoles. The open-world game takes place in the Nordic-inspired country of Skyrim, with the player having a choice of plots ranging from determining the fate of a contentious civil war to dealing with a prophesied dragon to destroy the world. Fans have waited a decade for the next edition of the popular Elder Scrolls franchise, and while Bethesda has confirmed that they are working on the next installment, it could take years before the game is released. We still don’t know much about the new game, although fans seem to think it will be set in Hammerfall.
