There's a Tomb Raider board game coming next year
Done with Shadow of the Tomb Raider Shadow already, but still hankering for a bit more Lara in your life? Well, then you might be interested to hear about her latest, somewhat more lo-fi adventure, which arrives in the form of a new Tomb Raider board game early next year.
Tomb Raider Legends: The Board Game, as Square new endeavour is known, comes from the makers of the (apparently pretty decent) Final Fantasy Trading Card Game and is described as a "fun and clever take on the classic video game series". It designed for 3-4 players and sees would-be adventurers exploring ruins and fending off threats "while using your wits, arsenal and skills to prove that you, and you alone, are the Lara Croft".
The promotional shots show four Lara Croft player pieces, and Square further explains that, in the board game, Lara embarks "on an unknown journey in search of a hidden artefact and faces the biggest threat of all, herself!" Which sounds suspiciously like the designers have shrewdly incorporated some kind of weird existential, multi-universe Lara narrative, just so everyone gets to play as their favourite adventurer.
