Eve OnlineThe famously complex MMO is now being turned into a game. CCP Games of Iceland has partnered Titan Forge, known for their catalogs of miniatures and extraordinary miniaturists to bring you this boardgame. Eve The Board GameThis fall, Kickstarter will launch. Polygon has your first look at the project — and its potent fleet of pint-sized plastic starships.

The core of the organization is its people. Eve OnlineThis is a four-player game. The 4X acronym stands for the genre’s four classic objectives: to explore the unknown, expand your empire, exploit the most resources, and ultimately to exterminate all opposition. While the 4X genre has long been popular on PC, it’s also been incredibly popular in board gaming. Some titles include Twilight Imperium, EclipseTiny Epic KingdomsTake pride in your competition. There is even another high-profile 4X video game crossover currently in the works, with Paradox’s 4X game StellarisAcademy Games has begun a new adaptation.

You can also read about it here Eve OnlineNo other game can compare to the ruthlessness of some players. Due to those players. EveThis game is much more than simply a 4X. It’s a kind of byzantine social experiment, that for the last 20 years has created some of the most enduring storylines in all of gaming. The story of Steve the starship, Mittani the brutal warlord and the galaxy-spanning war financed by real casinos will resonate with even those who’ve never played. CCP Titan Forge are still unsure of how to integrate these types of themes.

“With its player-driven gameplay and complex virtual economy, EVE Online lends itself organically to a compelling board game experience,” offered Grant Tasker, brand director at CCP Games, in a news release. “As we celebrate two decades of EVE Online, Titan Forge understands New Eden’s enduring legacy and is equipped to bring our iconic spaceship MMO to a different medium while maintaining its signature elements.”

The release describes the final product as having “Euro-game mechanics.” The phrase has become a bit of a catchall of late, but traditionally European-style board games are known for their deterministic approach, which eschews randomness and dice rolling. So-called Euro-games also tend to avoid direct conflict, but clearly that won’t be the case here as the final product will allow players to wage war on a massive scale.
