Mistborn: House War Achieves 200% Kickstarter Funding in First Day

Jun 16, 2016

A new board game based on Brandon Sanderson’s hit Mistborn series of novels has arrived on Kickstarter and already surpassed 200% funding in less than 24 hours. Mistborn: House War, from our friends at Crafty Games, places three to five players at the head of rival Houses of the Final Empire. Interestingly enough, you’ll need to both cooperate with others as well as compete with rivals in order to achieve victory.

You can reserve a copy of the title (and stretch goals) at the $50 pledge level.

About the project:

Mistborn: House War puts you in command of the Final Empire’s great Houses during the cataclysmic events of Mistborn: The Final Empire.

Together, players must cooperate to solve myriad problems facing the empire, from environmental and social turmoil to political strife and outright rebellion. You’ll even face off with Kelsier, Vin, Sazed, and the other heroes of the novels to maintain the delicate balance held in place for the last thousand years.

Simultaneously, you’ll compete to become the most powerful House in the land by currying favor from the almighty Lord Ruler. To win, you must build alliances, negotiate deals, and undermine both your enemies and your allies — all at just the right time. But be careful! Should your stewardship fail, unrest will tear the Final Empire asunder and the House most distancedfrom the Lord Ruler shall emerge the victor.

Mistborn: House War is created and developed by Crafty Games, publishers of the Mistborn Adventure Game, in cooperation with Brandon Sanderson and Dragonsteel Entertainment.

Designed by Kevin Wilson (Arkham Horror, The X-Files, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shadows of the Past), Mistborn: House War is the perfect addition to any gamer’s table, and every Sanderson fan’s collection. Whether you’re a cunning strategist or cautious diplomat, there’s plenty to love in this box…
