‘Hearts of Iron: The Board Game’ — Steamforged’s Most Strategic Board Game Ever Launches Soon
In Hearts of Iron: The Board Game, Steamforged Games turns a well-loved video game into a well-loved board game.
They’ve already had great success with RuneScape Kingdoms, Sea of Thieves: Voyage of Legends, Resident Evil 3, and plenty more. This time they’ve turned their attention to Hearts of Iron, a game best known for multi-layered gameplay, historical depth, and the freedom for players to experiment with and play out alternative timelines. Plus the more than 200,000 positive reviews on Steam are sure to be a good sign.
Steamforged has worked closely with the team at Paradox Interactive, makers of Hearts of Iron, in order to make sure the board game faithfully adapts these elements. Players will have the option to lead their nation to victory through diplomacy, warfare, or politics.
Hearts of Iron: The Board Game Overview
Hearts of Iron: The Board Game plays between 2 and 5 players and will take about 3 to 4 hours per game. This is not a game for the feint of heart! You might even say to enduring the sheer strategic power of this game, you need a heart of some kind of metal. Maybe brass or lead.
The game will feature multiple playable nations that will be customizable through ideology. Hearts of Iron is known for this alternative history sort of gameplay. So it’s up to the players to decide if they will faithfully recreate history as we know it or create their own version to suit their vision.
All the while players will be engaging in political maneuvering and large-scale combat to re-draw the map. The potential nation, ideology, and focus combinations give the board game a significant amount of replayability.
Hearts of Iron: The Board Game is launching on Gamefound early next year. Fans should follow the campaign page for all the latest updates as they land.
Those who follow the Gamefound page before the launch will also receive an exclusive gift—a First Player token in the form of a metal medal, and an exclusive card pack—if they pledge once the campaign launches.
