Go On Board has now launched their Kickstarter for The Witcher: Old World. This game, set before the events of the famous Fantasy franchise, has you putting on the boots of Witchers as you head out to hunt monsters and make a name for yourself.

The Witcher: Old World // Go On Board

One to five players will explore a vast map of The Witcher world as they take on the aspects of one of the five Witcher schools. You'll undertake perilous quests, face morally grey choices and of course, take on powerful monsters that are threatening the people. You might even find yourself facing down another Witcher or two as you seek to prove your skills.

If you're interested in the game then you can check out the video up above. The team go through a full three-player game giving you an idea of how it all works from turn to turn. I haven't been able to find a rulebook so far but at least there is a video and a short breakdown of gameplay on the Kickstarter. It would be nice to see the rules, even in an early form, so that folks can pour through them.

Pledge Options & More

If this has been enough to get you interested in the game then you can head on over and take a peek at the Kickstarter and this rather hefty pledge...

We're already seeing some good miniatures in the set, at least from the renders, that are in keeping with the world of The Witcher. I like the monster design in particular and the finish of the game components does feel good right now. I am enjoying the look of all of the art and how the game presents itself.

As well as that core pledge, there is also a Wild Hunt Expansion that you can take a peek at too. This adds the deadly force from the last of The Witcher games into the mix as a new threat for your monster hunters.

There is a lot more planned too. The team have talked about adding Mages into the game and loads of Stretch Goals which are getting kicked over as I type. The campaign has obviously gained a lot of traction thanks to it being based around The Witcher so I am crossing fingers that the final product and the gameplay loop for each session feels satisfying.
