IDW to Publish ‘X-Files’ Board Game

Tuesday, March 25th, 2014

Late last week, news website ICv2.com reported that IDW Publishing has announced the July release of a brand new licensed big box X-Files strategy board game designed by veteran designer Kevin Wilson (Arkham Horror, Descent, Civilization).  Gallery and comic book artist mention is providing the illustrations that will be used for the game’s cover and throughout its various components.

IDW’s X-Files board game will focus on material from the first three seasons of television series, giving fans a chance to start their board game adventures from the beginning of the X-Files phenomenon, which was one of the major TV successes of the 1990s.  Players will get the chance to take on the role of Mulder, Scully, and the X-Filesteam as they work to uncover global conspiracies and threats while going up against various members of the Syndicate.

IDW acquired the license to publish X-Files comics in early 2013 .  There have been X-Files card games and trivia games issued before, but this appears to be the first true X-Files strategy board game. This is great news for die-hard X-Files fans.
