Paizo And GF9 Team Up For Board Games, Starting With Pathfinder: Level 20
Paizo and Gale Force Nine are teaming up to bring you new board games set in the worlds of Pathfinder and Starfinder.
Exciting news for all you fans of Golarion. Gale Force Nine and Paizo are collaborating on a series of new board games coming later this year, set in the worlds of Golarion and the Pact Worlds.
Drawing lore from both Pathfinder and Starfinder, Gale Force Nine has announced they’ve got three board games in the work. Of course, this is only the beginning of a beautiful friendship. But the first three games sound like they’ll draw on GF9’s eye for design, and Pathfinder’s rich adventuring aesthetic:
“Starting in Q2 2022, Gale Force Nine will release three board games over the first year of the deal, with more following over the course of the partnership. The first three titles are:
- Pathfinder: Level 20 (Q2 2022)
- Starfinder: Pirates of Skydock (Q3 2022)
- Pathfinder: Tall Tales (Q4 2022)”
And nowhere is that more perfectly exemplified than in the first of their announced games, Pathfinder: Level 20.
Pathfinder: Level 20
Pathfinder Level 20 is a game after my own heart. It asks the question, what would you do if you were a kobold? And any game that asks that is already great. But Pathfinder: Level 20 goes a step further.
In it you take on the role of kobolds who are trying to escape from an adventurer that only needs 5XP to hit level 20:
The first game of this partnership, releasing in Q2 2022, is “Pathfinder: Level 20”, a game where players take on the role of kobolds in their den, scampering away from a 19th-level fighter who only needs 5 XP to hit 20th level.
Will you make the hero flee in embarrassment, thus being crowned the kobold champion? Or will you be the last survivor amongst your friends—a victory in its own right!
How long do you think YOU would survive?
