Red Sonja: Hyrkania’s Legacy Board Game Hits Kickstarter for Dynamite Entertainment

Dec 7, 2017

My new friends at Dynamite Entertainment had a new board game hitting Kickstarter today and it’s Red Sonja: Hyrkania’s Legacy. In conjunction with Lynnvander Studios, the title takes players into the Hyborean age world of Robert E. Howard’s Red Sonja. Thus the name… The game offers cooperative play for one to four players, over approximately 60-90 minutes, as they set off on quests throughout Hyrkania. You can reserve a copy of the base game as well as any non add-on stretch goals at the $45.00 pledge level through December 20th.

From Dynamite:

Dynamite Entertainment is pleased to announce it has once again partnered with Lynnvander Studios to further continue their expansion into the collectible game space with the new Red Sonja: Hyrkania’s Legacy! The new co-operative game is expected to retail for $40, and is based on one of Dynamite’s most iconic characters. Featuring the stunning artwork from Dynamite’s series including, but not limited to, series written by industry icons Gail Simone and Marguerite Bennett, and many more great writers and artists, the game will transport players inside the world of Red Sonja where they will join quests, and battle the same foes the “She-Devil with a Sword” has faced! The Dynamite Red Sonja: Hyrkania’s Legacy Kickstarter campaign is live now.

Red Sonja, the “She-Devil with a Sword”, is a fictional character, a high fantasy sword and sorcery heroine created by Robert E. Howard and adapted for comics by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith. She first appeared in Conan the Barbarian #23 (Marvel Comics). Red Sonja has become the archetypical example of the fantasy figure of a fierce and stunningly beautiful female barbarian. The character now appears monthly in her own series, as well as a series of mini-series and one-shots, all published by Dynamite Entertainment.

Red Sonja: Hyrkania’s Legacy is a wonderful mix of Dynamite’s Red Sonja Comics and Lynnvander Studios and Jasco Games Legacy Line of cooperative games. Together, Hyrkania’s Legacy will be a perfect fit in the Legacy Line of games.

All Legacy Line games are cooperative and are loosely crossed over, allowing players to sometimes play characters from one Legacy Game in another. If you’re interested in playing some of the most iconic characters from the previous legacy games in Red Sonja: Hyrkania’s Legacy just select the Hero of Hyrkania reward level or higher!
