Slay the Spire Board Game Kickstarter Coming In Spring 2021

A tabletop version of Slay the Spire has been revealed, with a Kickstarter campaign set to launch in Spring 2021.
You can see a concept picture of the game's box on the Contention Games website, who will be adapting the hit indie game for physical play. Megacrit, which developed Slay the Spire, will seemingly be working with Contention Games on the board game. The website's description says the game will be "a cooperative deckbuilding adventure. Craft a unique deck, encounter bizarre creatures, discover relics of immense power, and finally become strong enough to Slay the Spire!" [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/01/25/slay-the-spire-review"] If you're unfamiliar, Slay the Spire is a roguelike where players travel up a spire, slaying enemies in procedurally generated situations. Players pick from a deck of cards to decide their actions in combat, earning loot and upgrading abilities as they go. It'll be interesting to see how Contention Games adapt it into a board game - and particularly a game played by more than one player. We reviewed Slay the Spire back upon its launch in 2019, scoring it a 9 and calling it a "wholly new and extremely satisfying package". We subsequently called it one of the games of 2019. The game came to iOS back in June of 2020, with an Android port on the way. [Disclosure: Humble Bundle (which is owned by Ziff Davis, the parent company of IGN) is either the publisher or financier of Slay the Spire and may receive a commission or fee in connection with sales. Humble Bundle and IGN operate completely independently, and no special consideration is given to Humble Bundle-published or financed games for coverage or scoring.] [poilib element="accentDivider"] Jordan Oloman is a freelance writer for IGN.
