This War Of Mine: The Board Game is the board game adaptation of the award-winning video game that pictures the drama of civilians trapped in a war-torn city.

You enter this experience as a group of civilians trapped in a besieged and conflict-ridden city, enduring many hardships that often test the essence of humanity.

During day time you take shelter in a ruined tenement house, which you will care about and manage by: removing rubble, searching through various rooms (often behind barricaded doors), you will build beds, improvised workshops, stoves, tools, water filters, small animal traps, you will cultivate an improvised vegetable garden, fix the tenements’ shelled facilities, reinforce the security of your shelter and should winter come, you’ll try to keep it warm.

Upon nightfall your main duties consist of guarding your shelter and what little possessions you can accumulate against bandits and raiders. Those in your group fit for such a task use the cover of the night to carefully explore dozens of the ever-changing locations scattered throughout the dangerous city in search of all the things that a person needs to survive (materials, food, meds, equipment, etc.). On your way you will meet many characters, each with a unique story (residents of the locations you visit, thieves, bandits, soldiers, war victims, refugees, neighbors, traders and members of local communities), each encounter is a potential, unique adventure. To guide you through all these events you have the special SCRIPTS mechanism, responsible for implementing the deep and complex story and a coherent plot (each game will be unique and different than the previous).

Your goal is to SURVIVE until the end of war hostilities. During your struggle as the survivors, you will experience dramas connected with making extremely difficult decisions and choices (you will face the consequences of your actions sooner or later in the playthrough). Survival itself will often not be enough. The price each of you decide to pay, might be too high in the final outcome. So the goal is really to survive in a way that will let you live on with the decisions you have made. The EPILOGUES mechanism will kick in here.

TWOM: The Board Game features a multiplayer experience for up to 6 players, in addition to a solo variant. You will be able to personify one of the well-known characters from the digital version of the game and face hundreds of new challenges and difficult choices.

The boardgame significantly expands the original game’s universe and emphasises the depth of plot, yet its main focus will be on human interactions driven by survival instinct and group decision-making.

The project tries to omit the usual boardgame threshold - TWOM: The Board Game is an INSTANT PLAY game, with no need for reading the manual before starting the adventure.

Experience the simulation of a fight for survival as a group of civilians facing a blind and merciless war.

In a war, not everyone is a soldier.
