The popular strategy game Rome: Total War is getting a board game adaptation. PSC Games has announced plans to publish a board game adaptation of the popular PC video game that follows Rome’s military exploits over nearly two centuries. PSC will launch a Kickstarter to fund the project later this year. The board game will replicate many of the features of the original video game, including a balance between military maneuvering and economics. “It’s an empire-building wargame with an economic engine,” PSC head Will Townshend told Wargamer.com earlier this week. “But the emphasis is on, as in the videogame, building armies and beating the shit out of your opponents.”
We are extremely happy to announce that we are teaming up with @SEGA and @CAGames to create a board game based on the world-renowned video game, @totalwar: ROME. Sign up to the Total War: Rome: The Board Game e-mail list to find out more - https://t.co/nEzgfmNzTF pic.twitter.com/vhFoyc2H2y
