Valheim is a fun survival and crafting game to play with a group of friends set in the Viking afterlife, and the board game adaptation is off to a great start. On Tuesday, a crowdfunding campaign to Valheim: the board game was launched on Gamefound and has already reached 300% funding. There are no stretch goals for the game, as the developer chooses to offer a complete core experience, but there are some fun perks that players can commit to, along with the game itself.
We interviewed developer Ole Steininess in June about the board game's design; A two-hour session is designed to mimic the evolution of the game. Valheim on a server with friends. This means there are roles for everyone, even players who prefer to maintain ownership. “To be able to meet this challenge you have to develop yourself and your home,” Steininess explained. “You're going to explore the map, which will be tiles on the board, and you'll have events going on and creatures that will appear to challenge you. As you make your way, you gather resources so you and your friends can build, create a cool character, a cool home, until you face the big boss at the end of the game.”
Mood Publishing showed an 18-minute trailer of one way the game could play out, with a group of Vikings teaming up to take on Bonemass. There is also a solo mode for players who prefer to go it alone.
The crowdfunding campaign will run until October 21; The estimated arrival date for the board game is October 2025. Players can also get additional gifts such as an exclusive set of dice, a game mat, and a stylish dice tower. The Collector's Edition is one way to acquire these extras and also comes with an elegant gold aluminum box with holographic cards.
