Frostpunk: board game for video game marches on Kickstarter

Frostpunk: The Board Game, the board game for survival simulation from 11-bit Studios, started crowdfunding on Kickstarter - and the campaign was targeted from the start to target the 200.000 euro mark it had set. It is not a coincidence, and it is not particularly surprising: the creators of Class Cannon Unplugged have already rocked the drum in the run-up to the start of the campaign. And fans in this country can also look forward to it: Frostpunk appears in a German-language version via Frosted Games - how appropriate.

After the video game hit This Ware of Mine - which also made the jump to the board game - Frostpunk was the developers' next prank. The 11-bit studios have presented such a strong foundation with the survival game that it is now also becoming a board game. Crowdfunding for the adaptation, for which Class Cannon Unplugged and Frosted Games are responsible for the German-language localization, has started and reached its destination after just a few hours. The 200.000 euro mark that Glass Cannon Unplugged raised for its debut Kickstarter have already been exceeded.

Frostpunk: Board game should be delivered in October 2021

Well over 2.000 are already supporting the campaign for the Frostpunk board game via Kickstarter – and especially during the hot phase shortly after the campaign was launched, fans arrived every second. Those responsible for the project at Glass Cannon Unplugged had set a funding target of 200.000 euros and this quickly fell. Last but not least, this is due to the good preparation of the crowdfunding campaign: The Frostpunk board game was promoted so emphatically, especially on social media, that at one point you could think that the game was already available.

Based on the computer game of the same name, Frostpunk also takes up the survival setting as a board game: It puts players in a dystopian world in which the group fights for survival together. Frostpunk is a cooperative board game that says again: all win together or all lose together. Round after round it is about making the right, sometimes only the best, of the remaining bad decisions.

At the center of the game are the residents, who players can deal with as they please. Because the residents have needs that can be ignored or not, the meeples play a key role in the game concept. Already in the video game, which was released in 2018, the main concern for gamers was to meet the needs of the population and thus keep the city around the generator running. Not infrequently, morally questionable decisions had to be made, an element that the board game also takes up.

Frostpunk: The board game is available in two versions via Kickstarter: The "Core Pledge" for 75 euros is the basic version, which uses classic wooden meeples as the core material, the more expensive version for 125 euros contains a miniature expansion with over 100 models. The add-on "Frostlander", however, is part of both versions.

A highlight of the Frostpunk board game is the available app: This means that the game can also be played across several tables or as a solo game, the latter in direct contact with other solo players, including mutual influences. That the KickstarterFrostpunk campaign starts so successfully, it's not just because of the advertising. Adam Kwapinski, who had already designed Nemesis, Lords of Hellas and Hard City, is responsible for the board game. The fans' expectations are correspondingly high. The

The board game about Frostpunk is to be sent after a successful Kickstarter in October 2021. Who the Support campaign would like to have until October 29th.
