Maestro Media recently announced a new board game adaptation of the popular mobile game Clash Royale. Now, IGN can exclusively reveal that Maestro Media will be launching a Kickstarter campaign in support of the final product: Clash Royale: The Grand Arena this month
The Kickstarter, which is aiming to launch on October 20, follows the successful crowdfunding of Maestro’s previous collaboration with Supercell, Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid. Ahead of the campaign, we got the chance to speak with the board game’s lead designer, David Gordon, about how the team approached bringing the mobile hit to the tabletop.
First, we learned a little more about what to expect from the board game itself, which you can get the gist of in this exclusive trailer:
The Grand Arena generally adapts the deck-building and strategy elements of the mobile app into a board game. Yep, that means fans will finally be able to build Clash Royale decks with real cardboard.
The tabletop game is designed for two to four players. Each player controls their own forces, which consist of eight-card decks built around a chosen Champion. Cards will be based on the mobile game’s card list, plenty of which feature characters and items going back to the original Clash of Clans era.
In-game, players take turns to try and destroy other players’ Towers while also protecting their own. The board features two lanes, and players must determine where exactly to play cards to launch attacks, plant defensive units, and use items. Players can’t endlessly cycle through their cards, either, as moves are limited by the classic Clash resource, Elixir.
Destroying another player’s Tower nets you a Crown, and the player with the most Crowns at the end wins.
Sound familiar? It should - at least to Clash Royale fans. Maestro Media put some serious thought into translating the mobile gameplay to the tabletop.
