Archon Bring Wolfenstein To The Tabletop On Kickstarter Soon
February 27, 2020 by brennon
Archon Studio has been showing off a few more previews of their upcoming board game based on the hit video game series Wolfenstein. You'll be able to take on the role of B.J. Blazkowicz and his allies as you kill Nazis and seek to cause as much destruction as possible.
This take on Wolfenstein will be based on the more recent games, Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein: The New Colossus. Instead of taking place during World War II, the clashes you'll be playing take place in the 1960s where the Nazis won World War II and have cemented themselves across the globe.
B.J Blazkowicz will be joined by a number of his allies such as Anya Oliwa, Set Roth, Max Hass, and Bombate in 32mm plastic form. As a fully cooperative experience, you will be taking on your Nazi foes who are then controlled by the game's inbuilt AI mechanics.
This dungeon crawler style game can be played out in different ways with you either choosing one of the missions to attempt on its own or as part of a campaign. Either way, you'll be taking on Nazi Zombies, Mechanised Nazis and sometimes a mixture of both. You'll also bump into legendary villains from the series too.
The game looks like it will be nice and dynamic if the miniatures and set-up are anything to go by. I really hope that they have managed to capture the frenetic action of Wolfenstein with its bombastic guns, over-the-top enemies and action and interesting set pieces.
With two-to-five players able to hit the tabletop at once, it seems like it could be a nice laugh for those who love the video game series. A Kickstarter is on the cards for this one so you'll want to keep an eye on their website to see when it goes live.
I did enjoy what they did with the new video games, moving it to a new time period and pushing the story of Wolfenstein forward. It was a nice change of pace and whilst you'll still be battling through Castle Wolfenstein I think the different aesthetic for the enemies will make it feel a bit more fresh and apart from regular Weird World War settings.
They will certainly be fun to paint if that's your thing!

Waaaaaait…. a Bethesda IP that’s not going through FFG…. Now I’m scared!
Also, I wonder if there will be a single player option…
You could just do what I’ve been doing when playing Silver Tower this week and taking control of two characters. It’s not that tough and should work considering the game uses an AI mechanics here.
Since it’s coop that’s a viable option… I’m curious on how much that thing will be.
Yeah, ffg normally have the boardgame aspect covered but i guess this falls under miniature games. Kind of surprised though this was not modiphius either. But this could be interesting if the price is ok.
true… I would place my bet around the 100€ mark
nice figures…the tiles..!!! eek
Is B.J. Blazkowicz “Busting” the Reich? If it wasn’t for the box I would have assumed that’s what the picture was of. Someone soon better do a comparison of the two so we can see they are different
Reichbusters beat them to punch, for me.
It just has a more interesting theme to me as well. Archon is great, but they will need to do something huge to make this one a must have for me.
Just too many other awesome games coming out on KS or already on KS right now.
We don’t know what the stretchgoals are going to be like for this one.
OTOH … they are dealing with a license, so I doubt there is much they can do to deviate from the games either.
I kind of wonder if Reichbusters happened because they didn’t get (or want) the license for this game …
Interesting, but I already backed Reichbusters I don’t need this, or do I?
Honestly I don’t see why you couldn’t use the two of them together. Combine this with Reichbusters and you get more heroes, more scenarios, and more enemies to play with. True you might need to fudge with the rules a little bit so it would work, but if you can figure it out this game would serve as a massive expansion for the existing Reichbusters stuff.
You’r right that sounds like a good idea for massive Nazi busting fun.
Ooh this looks great an the figures are stunning looking. I can also see people getting the models for weird world war 3 game’s?
Does anybody know what scale the miniatures are in are they 28, 32, or 35mm?
I have them here 32mm to eye,
