Pathfinder Arena is live on Kickstarter

Tuesday, November 23, 2021

Pathfinder Arena, a competitive board game set in the Pathfinder roleplaying game’s Age of Lost Omens setting, is now live on Kickstarter!

Join the early supporters and get the miniature of a Young Black Dragon for free! This early bird offer lasts only for 24 hours. The campaign will end on December 13th, and the estimated shipping date is November 2022.

The campaign will feature a new expansion: Trap tiles. Trap tiles substitute some of the Arena tiles and introduce a new way to score points. Will you be able to prove yourself worthy of their test, or will you fail?

In Pathfinder Arena you will take the role of one of the iconic heroes of Pathfinder, trapped in a magical entity, calling itself “Arena”. The entity poses a challenge to the party: select a champion to claim the right to escape from it. Score glory points by defeating the monsters summoned in the Arena, or by triggering beasts against your opponents!

Players can modify the Arena structure by spending action points to push or rotate the tiles. By doing so, players can move opponents into a monster’s range and trigger an attack to score as many points as the damage the monsters inflict.

Each hero has asymmetric abilities and a tailor-made deck, reflecting their class. Heroes level up during the game by picking up tokens in the Arena to enhance their abilities and access to their deck. Choosing which cards to draft and which ability to prioritize enables players to develop different strategies in the Arena and makes each hero unique.

Pathfinder Arena will feature 18 highly detailed miniatures in the core set alone. The miniatures will be compatible with the main Pathfinder line. The Kickstarter campaign will also feature four expansions (heroes, monsters, one dedicated to Age of Ashes, and trap tiles) and exclusive Kickstarter stretch goals only available during the campaign.

I don't really care about the game, but I want the minis to paint!

So, Merisiel and Kyra are fighting for the right to let the other escape, right?

But seriously though, this game has only the thinnest coat of Pathfinder paint over a totally unrelated competitive board game. It could be fun, but it's honestly disappointing to see no co-op mode, weird ability score upgrading, "dumb" monsters, and no dice.
