48 hours left – Back the board game here

First, thanks to all of you who followed our livestream Friday and helped us celebrate our 4 year anniversary. And a big welcome to all the new players joining over the Free Weekend. Now on to the news on the board game:

Back in October 2021, we announced that a board game adaption of Deep Rock Galactic was in the works. And on February 10, 2022, we launched a Kickstarter campaign to find out how many of you were interested in this project. It quickly turned out that the support was overwhelmingly positive, and we shot through our funding goal faster than you can say Rock & Stone (okay, maybe not that fast – it did take 18 minutes).

The board game project has come to life through the collaboration with our friends at MOOD Publishing and board game designer Ole Steiness. Ghost Ship Games has acted chiefly as IP stakeholders, helped test the game, and made sure it lived up to expectations. Adapting a video game to a board game is tricky and filled with pitfalls, but we are incredibly proud of how it turned out. The feedback from the Kickstarter has further improved the product, and now we can’t wait to play the finished version.

Now we are entering the very last phase of the Kickstarter campaign. It ends on Thursday, March 3, at 7 pm CES (UTC+2), so if you missed out, you can still back it here

(And yes, Season 02: Rival Escalation for Deep Rock Galactic is still on its way and will release in April)

With love,
Ghost Ship Games
