IDW Games has announced the July release of a brand newlicensed big box The X-Files strategy board game designed by veteran designer Kevin Wilson (Arkham Horror, Descent, Civilization). Gallery and comic book artist mention3 is providing the illustrations that will be used for the game’s cover and throughout its various components.
IDW’s The X-Files board game will have an MSRP of $59.95 and will focus on material from the first three seasons of television series, giving fans a chance to start their board game adventures from the beginning of the The X-Files phenomenon, which was one of the major TV successes of the 1990s. Players will get the chance to take on the role of Mulder, Scully, and the X-Files team as they work to uncover global conspiracies and threats while going up against various members of the Syndicate.
IDW acquired the license to publish The X-Files comics in early 2013 (see "IDW to Publish 'X-Files' Comic Book Series"). There have been The X-Files card games and trivia games issued before, but this appears to be the first true The X-Files strategy board game.
Due in July
