VAULT COMICS' BARBARIC COMES TO TABLETOP
Vala Foundry and Vault Comics today announced Barbaric: The Board Game, a tabletop adaptation of the hit comic series by Mike Moreci and Nathan Gooden.
Barbaric follows a ruthless barbarian cursed to use his violence only for good, sending him, his talking axe, and a young witch on a road of self-discovery, redemption, and revenge.
The announcement of the board game follows Netflix’s recent announcement that it has greenlit a new live-action series adaptation of the property, with Academy Award nominee Sheldon Turner attached as writer and co-showrunner, positioning Barbaric as one of the most anticipated IP expansions in the independent comics space
In Barbaric: The Board Game, players take on the role of a band of cursed warriors and must fight their way through hordes of violent monsters and powerful overlords. Slash, blast, and thrash your way through waves of enemies using savage abilities to tear your foes limb from limb in sword-and-sorcery combat that can only be described as... Barbaric.
Each of the six unique characters has a distinct playstyle defined by their Curse: a sentient, blooddrunken axe, a fearsome vampiric transformation, and even the power of death itself. Skillfully manage your Curse to outlast waves after wave of enemies, chaining together attack after attack with a unique Frenzy system.
Players move around a hexagonal map, chucking dice and using action points to slay hordes of monsters as they try desperately to defeat the brutally evil Overlord.
