PSC Games has announced that they are going to be bringing the excellent strategy game, Prison Architect, to the tabletop with a new board game. Prison Architect: Cardboard County Penitentiary has you and your friends taking on the job of wardens!

Designed for one-to-four players, you will be diving into a game designed by Noralie Lubbers and Dávid Turczi. During gameplay, you'll be getting stuck into a Bidding Phase where you look to pick up an assortment of room tiles, staff and policy cards and more which can be used to expand and manage your prison. You'll want to pick up what keeps your prisoner's hygiene and health in check but you also need to stop them from running away!
Beyond the Bidding Phase, you'll be diving into a Construction Phase where you arrange the riles in your Prison Area and look to hit up specific requirements and scoring conditions. Intake then leads to you deciding on which prisoners you want to accept and which objectives you're going to commit to by the end of the game.
Prison Architect seems like a solid strategy experience to turn into a tabletop game that mixes together tile-laying with a bit of bidding. It seems like you'll be able to really focus on building your own prison whilst perhaps sniping the things you think your opponents really need! Snag all the showers!

The new Prison Architect board game is going to be coming to Kickstarter in May and they have their sights set on delivering on the project in 2022. As a fan of the original PC game and a fan of tile-laying games in general, I think it'll be great to dive in and check this out!

I played the “spin off” RimWorld… liked it very much but I can’t see how they would make that into a game without getting very exhausting
same here
the one thing that makes games like this work is the fact that the computer does all the ‘boring’ work.
And there is a lot of that in these XD
yup,
it will be interesting to see what they do with the concept though.
And … will it feature the prison breakout scenario too?
Been a long while since I last played Prison Architect but it’s a solid PC game that you can easily lose entire days to. I’d want to see more of the mechanics and pieces of this board game version though.
Ooh an interesting game for con’s ?
