I hope it comes with cute character figurines
Here it is, the best news of 2021 so far:Slay The Spireis being adapted into a board game. The tabletop treatment will turn Mega Crit Games' fab little deck-building roguelike into a four-player cooperative adventure. Much like the video game, you’ll have to craft a deck and collect relics to beat up the baddies, and ultimately Slay that Spire.
This is exactly the sort of pick-me-up I needed at the start of a pretty dreary new year.
Details are light so far, butContention’s websitesays the STS board game will be for one to four players, take 45 minutes to play per player, and will be a “cooperative deck-building adventure”.
“Craft a unique deck, encounter bizarre creatures, discover relics of immense power, and finally become strong enough to Slay The Spire!” They say. That’s basically the description of the video game too, so here’s hoping it’ll be a familiar experience.

The fact it’s for one to four players suggests to me that we might be able to play as each of the four characters currently in the video game; the Ironclad, the Silent (best girl), the Defect and the Watcher. It would be lovely if they made nice little figurines of them all to push around a board. I’ve also always wondered what a co-op Slay The Spire might be like. Gosh, I’m already far too excited for this.
If for some reason you’ve yet to play Slay The Spire (The Video Game), then leave right now and go do that. We reckon it’s one of thebest PC gamesof 2020, as well as one of thegreatest PC gamesof the decade. OurSlay The Spire reviewcalls it “a miracle of design”, and I truly couldn’t put it better myself.
