The SimCity-ish management gameplay takes place across a modular map, as players construct buildings to create a city together, while scoring for satisfying their personal constituents. Working on the project is Tales from the Loop studio Free League, which has launched the game on Kickstarter, where it’s already made more than triple its £43,000 goal.Ĭity-building smash hit Cities: Skylines is also being brought to the tabletop, with Nations creator Rustan Håkansson behind the design. The first board game will be based on Crusader Kings, the medieval simulation game that sees players taking control of a historical ruler and trying to expand their reign while juggling various personal dramas, such as surviving assassination attempts and raising a potential heir.Ĭrusader Kings: The Board Game trims down the PC game’s lengthy matches to two to three hours, focusing on the game’s characters, storytelling and generation-spanning strategy. The studio announced at its annual PDXCon that it would be working with notable tabletop designers to translate its digital success stories into analogue versions, with the idea being to retain their themes and mechanics – this doesn’t necessarily mean they will be one-for-one adaptations, but will embody the spirit of Paradox’s strategy-driven gameplay in streamlined forms. Paradox Interactive, the PC game developer behind massive strategy hits such as Europa Universalis, Crusader King and Cities: Skylines, is turning its attention to board games.
