Modiphius Entertainment will be releasing Paranoia: The Uncooperative Board Game early next year. Based on the venerable roleplaying game from Mongoose Publishing, players will troubleshoot missions provided by The Computer in a humorously deadly dystopian future. The game is for two to six players, ages 14+, plays in around 120 minutes, and carries an MSRP of $49.99. You can preorder right now and shipping is expected in January.
