Mantic Games will release Worms: The Board Game Collector's Edition, which is based on the classic computer game, into retail on September 6, 2024.
This game was first announced back April 2023 (see "Worms"), and raised close to $700,000 on Kickstarter (converted from Pound sterling). In this game, players will ultilize classic weapons and tactics to battle it out for annelid supremacy on a hex map. The game is quick to play: players generate a landscape, shuffle up the Supply and Supply Drop deck, and go at it. Any Worm can use any weapon dropped on the board to try and deal as much damage as they can to the opposing team. The game length can be adjusted with blast damage and adding or subtracting win conditions.
Worms: The Board Game Collector's Edition is for two to four players, ages 10 and up, and plays in 45 minutes.
Based on the Classic Computer Game
