WizKids has announced Dungeons & Dragons:  Edge of the Realms – Fields of Faerun, a new map-building game designed by Phil Walker-Harding (Barenpark, Gizmos, Imhotep) set to release in June.

In Dungeons & Dragons:  Edge of the Realms – Fields of Faerun, players become explorers of the fabled continent of Faerun, the world of the Dungeons & Dragons Forgotten Realms setting.  Players will draw and play map cards to construct their own individual maps, trying to complete quests by connecting terrain and revealing landmarks and cities.  The game uses a card-drafting mechanic that is designed to support simultaneous play so there is no downtime between turns.  After 15 rounds of cardplay and drafting, the player who is able to score the most points from their quests wins the game.

The game features artwork by Gerralt Landman (The Guild of Merchant Explorers) and includes 139 cards, 50 cubes, 4 tokens, and 5 pawns plus a score pad.  It is intended for 2 to 4 players, ages 12 and up, and plays in about half an hour.  MSRP is $24.99.

A limited-edition promo token will be available for distributors who pre-order the game.

June will also see WizKids launch another game based on Dungeons & Dragons entitled Builders of Baldur’s Gate (see “WizKids Reveals New ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Board Game”) as well as Fantasy Realms:  Greek Legends (see “WizKids Unveils Standalone Sequel to ‘Fantasy Realms’ Card Game”).  Other D&D-themed WizKids products were announced recently, including a set of acrylic reference tabs for the game’s books (see “WizKids Will Release New ‘D&D Book Tabs’”) and exclusive Icons of the Realms promo miniatures (see “WizKids Reveals ‘D&D Icons of the Realms:  Adventures from Baldur’s Gate’ Retail Exclusive Promos”).
