Gears Of War: The Board Game Coming This August

Gears Of War: The Board Game Coming This August

It's like Gears, but on a board, with less blood

Fantasy Flight Games has announced they are releasing a board game based on Epic Games' uber popular Gears of War franchise. Simply titled Gears of War: The Board Game, Amazon currently has the game listed with a release date of August 31st.

The game comes complete with 30 plastic characters, a number of cards, tokens, map tiles and two sets of dice, and can be played by up to four people, as C.O.G members Marcus, Baird, Cole Train and Dom lock chainsaws once again with the Locust through seven missions.

A suitably deep voiced trailer has also been released showing some more details of how the game will work.



So what do you think? Will this help fill the void until Gears of War 3 is released in September?
