Minecraft Board Game Announced

MineCon, kicked off today and brought with it the announcement of Minecraft: Builders & Biomes, a new tabletop game based on Minecraft and developed in conjunction with Mojang.

Similar to the video game version, Minecraft: Builders & Biomes has players “explore the Overworld, build structures, and mine resources,” with points earned for “structures and the largest connected biomes.”

Minecraft: Builders & Biomes is a tabletop game from Ravensburger, the German company also behind hit games such as Villainous and Labyrinth. Builders & Biomes will borrow elements from the original; according to the game’s press release, it “lets you explore the Overworld, mine rare resources, build fabulous structures, and collect weapons to defeat the mobs lurking around every corner.” Players are on a quest to score experience points for the structures they build and largest connected biomes on their player boards, which are comprised of forest, desert, mountain, or snowy tundra spaces. Once the game’s resource cube is totally depleted, the game ends, and whichever player has amassed the most points, wins.

This will be the first strategy board game in Minecraft’s more than 10-year history, and Ravensburger has stated that Builders & Biomes was developed in conjunction with Mojang to bring the digital experience to life. The board game is already available for pre-order, with a set release date rapidly approaching. In the meantime, Mojang and Microsoft have also revealed current plans to update the digital Minecraft, so there’s plenty to keep busy with until then.

Minecraft is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and in addition to countless books, toys and Lego sets, the hit cultural phenomenon now has a tabletop board game to its name.

The Minecraft board game is designed for two to four players and takes “30-60 minutes to play.” Preorders for Minecraft: Builders & Biomes are being taken at MaltaComics for €39.99, and the tabletop Minecraft has a November 15 release date.
