PDXCON 2018 Archives

The Hearts of Iron board game announced at PDXCON this weekend is the most raw of the four board game adaptations announced. Crusader Kings was the most put together, while Cities: Skylines was relatively set in terms of its rules and function. HOI though, was just a game board with some box art.

The Cities: Skylines board game is being designed by Rustan Håkansson, and is therefore not a whole lot like its older video game sibling. This is very much a "spirit of" translation.

Free League Publishing, best known for their pen and paper RPG Tales of the Loop and Mutant Year Zero, are lending their talents to Paradox Interactive's Crusader Kings IP to bring it to life as a board game.

At PDXCON this morning, Paradox Interactive had a ton of announcements for eager strategy fans including two new games, three new expansions to previously existing games, a set of board games based on their mainstay franchises, and even updates on Stellaris.
