Call of Duty: The Board Game has launched on Kickstarter

The Kickstarter campaign for Call of Duty: the board game has been launched. If funded, the game is expected to be released in the fourth quarter of 2024. Developer and manufacturer Arcane Wonders will run its campaign through August 22 and hopes at least $75,000 to continue with the project. Arcane Wonders previously launched games like Air, land and sea, Sheriff of Nottingham And Mage Wars: Arena. The developer has also had previous success with Kickstarter, raising just shy of $1 million be first Foundations of Rome’s Expansion, Roads of Fortune.

Like the video games, Call of Duty: the board game can be played as a competitive or cooperative experience. Players take control of operators on a flat map that emphasizes clever use of your chosen equipment and skills, alongside an arsenal of killstreaks to take down your opponent. The basic game is designed for two players, but can have up to four players by combining multiple sets.

A $49 commitment gives you access to the core gaming experience, which comes with everything you need for a 1v1 match. Arcane Wonders has said that this set is similar to what we can expect from the retail version, but at a slightly lower price. The core box comes in two versions, the red box contains pre-painted miniatures of Shepherd and Ghost to use on the Shoothouse map, while the blue box contains Price and Makarov on the Killhouse map.

Additional bonus items are also available at higher levels for anyone who wants to contribute to the campaign’s expanded goals. A $99 pledge gets you access to the collector’s edition of the game, which includes both the red and blue core box contents, all in a slick premium storage box. It even includes an exclusive in-game weapon skin for Call of Duty: Warzone.

If you want to pledge $249, you’ll get access to the deluxe bundle, which includes everything you get with the collector’s edition, in addition to the first six expansion boxes. Arcane Wonders hasn’t set a launch window for post-release content yet, but the expansions will include an assortment of extra gear and operator minis. You also get more cards that allow the game to support up to six players.

Backers at all levels can also sign up for notifications to get a K-9 unit promotional mini and killstreak that will be included with their copy of the game after launch.
