I'm honestly kicking myself for missing this digital board game. Somehow, Armello – an RPG adventure that ticks all the boxes so far as I'm concerned thanks to its Redwall-style world – passed me by when it launched in 2015, so finding out that it's getting an actual board game now feels like the perfect opportunity to make up for lost time.
That's because Armello: The Board Game, which has been designed by D&D 4th edition's Rob Heinsoo, brings the RPG original's gameplay to tabletop while also adding all-new elements that promise "plenty to discover for longtime fans." We don't know what those new elements are, but it seems as if this is more than enough for the community; the Armello board game has already blown past its $20,000 goal on Kickstarter with $218,800 in pledges and counting.
