In the wake of their two recent Origins Awards wins, including The Dresden Files for Best RPG and Our World: The Dresden Files for Best RPG supplement, Evil Hat Productions has announced that they will be soon releasing their first foray into the world of Board Gaming.  Race to Adventure: The Spirit of the Century Exploration game is set to be released in late 2011/Early 2012.

It will be a companion-piece to the much-anticipated Zeppelin Armada combat card game by veteran game designer Jeff Tidball, targeting a similar release timeframe. Like Race to Adventure, Zeppelin Armada will also feature characters from the Spirit of the Century universe.

Here is some of the info about the game:

Each year, a worldwide scavenger hunt brings together daring adventurers from all parts of the globe—members of the famed Century Club. Their journey is filled with danger, excitement and wonder as players race to be the first to complete every mission, stamp their passport as proof in every location and cross the Empire State Building finish line first. Snatch a golden eagle egg from a Himalayan mountain peak, escape the Mummy King, rescue a prisoner from Atlantis and much more in this family adventure game.

OVERVIEW:

You can play this easy-to-learn adventure game in 20-30 minutes. In each round, players will take turns selecting one of 6 different items … and then all players perform their action at the same time.

OBJECT OF THE GAME:

Be the first player to stamp every section of your passport and return to Home Base inside the Empire State Building.

A FEW OF THE MISSIONS (there are more):

Snatch a golden eagle egg

Find the Book of Secrets

Escape the Mummy King

Explore the Aztec Temple

Rescue a prisoner from Atlantis

THE ITEMS:

Biplane

Jetpack

Lightning Gun

Map

Magnifying Glass

Zeppelin

ADDITIONAL INFO:

The board game is designed to be highly accessible and serve as an entry point for younger and casual gamers, but the strategy, brinksmanship and mechanics make for a very competitive, interesting game for older and dedicated gamers.

Race to Adventure! takes place in the Spirit of the Century universe, which is well known to fans of the roleplaying genre. More information about Spirit of the Century is here

This will be the exploration game companion to the upcoming combat card game Zeppelin Armada by veteran game designer Jeff Tidball. Zeppelin Armada will also be in the Spirit of the Century universe, and you can expect the games to share a few visual traits.

The game supports 2-5 players and is suitable for ages 8 and up.
