US role-playing game publisher Paizo Publishing is collaborating with Giochi Uniti to bring Pathfinder Arena, a board game based on the RPG-Template based. In 2021, the miniature board game will be financed via crowdfunding.
The Pathfinder RPG, developed by Paizo, is classic pen-and-paper based on the “Open License” of the Dungeon and Dragons rulebook. A localized version is available in this country from Ulisses, and the role-playing game is now available in a second edition. In addition, had Asmodee Digital Pathfinder: Adventures implemented as a digital board game.
Pathfinder: Arena offers competitive miniature action
In the coming year, the board game Pathfinder: Arena is to be brought to market through the cooperation between Paizo Publishing and Giochi Uniti. It is financed via "swarm funding" - it is not yet known when the campaign will start and which platform the publisher will choose for it.
The fact is, however, that Pathfinder: Arena is based on the fantasy fiction "Age of Lost Omens" from the Pathfinder role-playing game. The miniature board game is a competitive concept in which monsters and heroes face off against each other in four-stage challenges. With each new level, the number of monsters increases, while heroes receive level-ups and thus become stronger and better equipped.
A highlight of the game: In Pathfinder: Arena the monsters do not move, instead the map tiles are moved, so that a kind of labyrinth feeling should develop. The miniatures board game is designed for games with two to four players that use heroes and monsters from the Pathfinder universe. 18 miniatures should be included in the finished game, plus spells, objects and skills.
The crowdfunding campaign, starting in 2021, will contain exclusive miniatures and game material exclusively available via "swarm financing", as well as further, previously unknown bonuses through stretch goals.
Giochi Uniti is an Italian publisher that prepares board games and miniatures for the home market. There are collaborations with Asmodee, Days of Wonder and Fantasy Flight Games, among others.
