Monolith Tease Versus Mode & More For Conan Expansion
December 15, 2023 by brennon
Monolith are closing in on the launch of their new Kickstarter for the Conan board game in January. The Red Nails campaign will give you some great new options for exploring the adventures of Conan and his companions but also a full game mode that has been tweaked and updated for a full release.
Conan Versus Mode // Monolith
One of the big draws of the new expansion will be the Versus Mode which will bit heroes and their warbands of monsters and soldiers against each other. The core game mechanics will remain the same but there will be tweaks and changes to make it a fun battle taking part over the game boards that folks are familiar with.
Battles can be played out in less than an hour. They'll recruit their troops and then battle it out across a variety of scenarios. Want to see what would happen if your Conan took on one of his allies that turned against him? Make it so!
A few more previews have also popped up concerning some of the miniatures that you'll be able to scoop up as part of the Kickstarter.
Bran Mak Morn // Conan
Characters like Bran Mak Morn are going to be making an appearance (the preview miniature here is painted stunningly well!) but you've also got plenty of standard troops to throw into the maelstrom as well including the likes of these mercenaries.
Gunderman Mercenary // Conan
Hyrkanian Mercenary // Conan
The Conan board game is one of my firm favourites. I really like the core mechanics and it has come a long way since it was initially released. The updates from fans and the design team have been interwoven to create a great play experience that goes beyond the first offering. Interestingly, if you didn't get the game the first time around (or in subsequent campaigns) then you'll be able to snap that up as part of this campaign.
Conan: Red Nails Kickstarter // Monolith
Conan: Red Nails and more will be coming to Kickstarter 16th January and I'm sure folks are going to have an awesome time with this. Even if you don't get to play much of this game, the miniatures in the set would be brilliant for all sorts of other miniature wargames out there.
Could you be tempted to dive back into Conan with this campaign?

I am very excited about this. I absolutely love this game and this looks like a very interesting new twist. I was really disappointed with their “beyond monolithic” effort a few years ago which promised to bring this feature to the game; hopefully this time they can get it and put a worthwhile offering up
Where can one find the fan-produced stuff? I bought the retail version years ago and haven’t played it yet!

You can get home-made scenarios here

There is some truly excellent work on there. I downloaded a few last year and they’re available in print format. That means you can send them off to print services and get them made into hardback books. It’s got some fantastic community support
