Aug 16, 2016

The newest Sandy Petersen board game has launched today on Kickstarter and it’s already blown past the initial funding goal. Glorantha: The Gods War is set within Greg Stafford’s legendary fantasy realm as players take on the roles of Greater Powers aiming to control the destiny of the world. You’ll also notice the game is packed with dozens of cool miniatures to help bring the action to life.

Currently Glorantha: The Gods War is set for an August 2017 release and you can reserve a copy at the $125.00 pledge level.

About the project:

Glorantha: The Gods War board game combines asymmetric strategy with fantastic plastic figures.

Designed by Sandy Petersen and based on the mythic cult universe of Glorantha, The Gods War is a fast moving strategy game set in a universe on the brink of disaster. In The Gods War, you take the part of powerful elemental factions, battling to determine the fate of the cosmos. The Gods War has been in development for more than three years. It is highly asymmetric featuring wildly different factions. You’ll fight over territory, perform miracles, and command monsters and gods. You can storm the gates of heaven itself, or watch the world collapse into the Chaos Rift.

The world of Glorantha came into existence 50 years ago, in the writings of Greg Stafford. It has spawned video games, board games, roleplaying games, comic books, novels, and art. Sandy Petersen was key in developing this fantasy universe during his time at Chaosium. Now he has returned to it for his newest great project. Explore this universe as one of the Greater Powers who control its destiny.
