The Megacon Games release of The Banner Saga: Warbands into the hobby trade is scheduled for October.

A few copies of this fully cooperative miniatures-based boardgame were premiered at Gen Con last week, and Magacon has revealed more details about the game’s upcoming release into the market.  The game was announced late last year (see “‘The Banner Saga’ Comes to the Tabletop”).

The final component list will include 30 plastic miniatures, 1 world map, 1 skirmish board, 4 warband role boards, 124 cards, and 148 tokens.  The game is designed for 1 to 4 players ages 12 and up, and takes about 2 hours to play a full campaign of skirmishes, each taking about 10 minutes.  MSRP is $60.00.
