A mobile game remade as a tabletop game? Is that possible? It may not be for Candy Crush, but the strategic mechanics of Clash of Clans translate a little better. The hit phone game is coming to TTRPG form as Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid, and the crowdfunding campaign launches sometime in the next few weeks.
Franchise owners Supercell have enlisted developer Maestro Media to handle the transition, and Maestro in turn has hired game designers Eric M. Lang (Marvel: United, Star Wars: The Card Game, XCOM: The Board Game, Blood Rage) and Ken Gruhl (Life in Reterra, Mantis, Happy Salmon) to bring it to life. Gameplay elements haven’t been fully revealed, but they will basically be the same as in the electronic original: to build defenses, deploy units, and raid friends’ bases.
“Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid is a groundbreaking experience that brings the beloved universe to life like never before,” boasts Javon Frazier, Founder and CEO of Maestro Media. “With the genius of legendary designers Eric Lang and Ken Gruhl and our incredible partnership with Supercell, we’ve crafted a game that will surprise and delight and will be a must-have tabletop adventure that captures the heart of Clash of Clans.”
Andrea Fasulo, Head of Global Licensing, adds, “We’ve always been passionate about creating memorable experiences for our players, and Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid is an exciting new chapter in that journey. Partnering with Maestro Media allows us to bring the strategy and excitement of Clash of Clans to life in a whole new way.”
More about Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid will be revealed when the Kickstarter kicks off, which should be soon.
