Cult Video Game Against the Storm Adapted into a Board Game by Mindclash Games!
A major critical hit on PC, Eremite Games' roguelite strategy game is set to hit our tabletops with Against the Storm: The Board Game. Published by expert-game specialists Mindclash Games and designed by a trio of authors (Anthony Howgego, Viktor Péter, and Mihály Vincze), this cooperative adaptation scheduled for 2028 will invite 1 to 4 players (aged 14 and up) to build settlements and weather the Storm, in intense sessions lasting 90 to 180 minutes.
In this cooperative city-builder, players take on the role of the Scorched Queen's Viceroys, leading one of seven available species (Humans, Beavers, Lizards, Harpies, Foxes, Frogs, or Bats). The core gameplay relies on asymmetry and cooperation: while the city and its resources are shared, each species brings its own strengths, needs, and priorities. Over the course of the seasons (Drizzle, Clearance, and Storm), players must plan their actions using Agenda cards, optimize automated production chains, and manage their villagers' morale (Resolve).
True to the spirit of the original video game, no settlement is meant to last forever. The players' goal is to fulfill the Queen's orders and earn Reputation before the Queen's Impatience brings an end to the expedition. Between glade events, harsh weather, and managing the individual needs of various species, Against the Storm: The Board Game promises a highly replayable tactical puzzle where adaptation takes priority over executing a perfect plan.
