Masters of the Universe: Fields of Eternia Board Game Announced

Not interested in the game but a Castle Grayskull Dice Tower does sound really cool.

Bummer about the European exclusiveness. My son would be all about this

No fisto, no deal.

Keep in mind that Archon is Prodos Games, so your pledge might get fulfilled, eventually...

Yeah. That's a bummer. However, I was instantly put off by the "pre-order, limited edition mini that will still affect the game" approach, too. Sounds cool, but no, thanks.

CMON is doing a Masters of the Universe game as well. I assume they are not the same game.

I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't play the crap out of a game like this using a giant sized board and actual 80's era MOTU toys as characters at some con!

I really really really hope Kevin Smith can hit a home run with his MOTU netflix series. Based on his track record compared to his gushing self-promotion (and the obvious lack of any guiding oversight by Netflix on many of their projects) I'm not optimistic but one can always hope. I'm not sure modern snark and the desire to constantly pull down convention will lend itself to the type of self-parody MOTU had back in the day.

I want to like these MOTU games that are coming out, I'm just sure they are going to be way more expensive than they are worth.

A handful of pop culture 'things' I obsesss over:
Dracula
Bigfoot
Star Wars (OG)
and
MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE

I would be all over this, except... The publisher made 'Chronicle X.' I backed it on Kickstarter, and I've learned my lesson.

Never again. These clowns couldn't keep a calendar if they had an animated paper clip Sage assisting them. Truly, it was a wildly incompetent campaign that delivered years late. The game wasn't close to finish prior to their KS launch, but a bunch of digital files were ready for mini obsessed XCOM fanboys. I was one of them. Countless excuses and game (re)development updates later - the game arrives in the most piss poor packing I've ever seen. And? The game isn't even that great. Crowdsourcing regret.

I don't have high hopes for Kevin Smith and CMON's treatment either, but a boy (at heart) can remain hopeful.
