The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – The Adventure Board Game Announced, Releasing Next Summer

Less than two weeks away from the 10th anniversary of Bethesda’s beloved fantasy RPG, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which is getting a special anniversary re-release, a new board game set in its world has been announced. 

Dubbed The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – The Adventure Game, this board game is being created by Modiphius Entertainment as a tabletop RPG that features 12 hours of story content, and that’s just for players that take the golden path. It has dozens upon hours of playtime, thanks to unique story options, roleplaying characters, diverse play styles and many other features. 

“This new solo/cooperative (up to four players) game of adventure and exploration invites aspiring adventurers to return to the frost-covered lands of Skyrim,” a press release reads. “Take up arms against dragons, Daedra, trolls, and many more wretched creatures to help the common folk sleep a little easier at night as you battle for glory. It’s a dangerous time, so the party brave enough to charge head-first into danger best have each other’s back.” 

Skyrim – The Adventure Game is currently available for preorder through Gamefound for about $92. That’ll get you the base game, although you can pay about $190 for the additional expansions or even $300 for an edition that comes with special tokens, extra miniatures, and more. Preorders will be delivered in the summer of 2022. 

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – The Adventure Game, players are surviving members of the Blades, a legendary group who long protected the Empire of Tamriel, and must band together to thwart a plot to eradicate them all.

Players will be able to select one of six races for their own character, and each race has a “lavishly detailed plastic miniature” based on them: Nord, Dunmer, Imperial, Altmer, Khajiit, and Orismer. You’ll be able to equip weapons, spells, armor, and more, and travel to iconic Skyrim locations like Riften, Whiterun, and other locales. 

Each chapter is made up of three chapters. This tabletop role-playing game has two main narrative-driven campaigns. Modiphius states that each chapter is approximately 90-120 minutes long. Player choices and actions will dictate how each chapter, and subsequent narrative, plays out, and everything affects the overarching story of Skyrim – The Adventure Game.
