The popular Shin Megami Tensei video game series is getting a physical board
game. A Japanese company called Icrea is behind the effort and is launching a
Kickstarter on November 12 to raise funds for the project.

SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI THE BOARD GAME (the company asked us to use all caps) is a
ΓÇ£full-scale board game projectΓÇ¥ complete with 72 ΓÇ£high quality and
detailed demon figures.ΓÇ¥ Collecting demons and adding them to your party is
a major part of the game, so these figurines should help with immersion.
ItΓÇÖll also help with getting random demon figurines lost in the couch.

ThereΓÇÖs a board with various locations from the franchise and plenty of
series-specific cards to rifle through. The company says a game should take
anywhere from three to four hours. The title has already generated a fair
amount of excitement at both Gen Con and the most recent Tokyo Game Show.

We donΓÇÖt know exactly when this will be available for purchase. You know
how Kickstarter timelines work. There are going to be a bunch of stretch
goals, however, should the company reach the initial financial threshold.
ItΓÇÖs a Shin Megami Tensei board game with dozens of cool-looking demon
figurines. It shouldnΓÇÖt have any trouble finding financial backers.

For the uninitiated, Shin Megami Tensei first came out in 1992 for the Super
Famicom in Japan. There have been plenty of sequels throughout the years.
Shin Megami Tensei V came out back in 2021, but has since received a full-
featured refresh called Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance.

The Persona series is also a spinoff of the franchise. This leads to a very
serious question. Persona board game when? I want to wander around a fake
high school and eat ramen with a motley crew of characters.
