A brand-new game based on the world of The Witcher has absolutely smashed its funding goal of £215,587 in less than 20 minutes.
The Witcher: The Old World is an "action-packed adventure board game, full of immersive choices and excitingly fresh mechanics," and is being put together by a small team called Go On Board. We suspected it'd be popular ahead of its Kickstarter campaign, but we never quite imagined it'd do this well. At the time of writing, it's soared past its initial goal and is currently at well over £600,000, courtesy of nearly 7,000 backers.
"Your commitment is amazing, thank you so much for all your support," Go On Board wrote in a community update. "Together, we managed to fund the game The Witcher: Old World in 19 minutes. We can only say one thing: wow!
Advert
To fully dive into the many rules of The Witcher: The Old World, would take a better and more patient man than me. Suffice to say it'll provide a classic adventure experience for one-to-five players that aims to bring Geralt's world to life.
The board game itself is a real sight to behold, and comes with a set of beautifully crafted tokens for both Witchers and monsters. Better yet, a full game takes anywhere between 90-150 minutes. As someone who has seriously considered murdering family members three hours into a game of Monopoly, I feel this is the right kind of length for an RPG-style board game.
If you'd like to be one of the many, many people backing this project (it's now soared past the £650 mark in the several minutes it took me to finish writing this article), you can head right here to learn all about each pledge and what it'll net you. Congratulations, Go On Board!
