The Board Games are FINALLY arriving.

It's been a LONG process (much longer than we ever expected and we're sorry about that), but we are starting to receive tweets and emails that you, our supporters, are receiving your copies of Kill Shakespeare: The Board Game.

Anthony and I had the privilege to see the game in Edmonton and New York, and we can tell you that it drew a LOT of attention from passer-by's. We even had one guy offer to buy the display copy for $200!

But we didn't want to leave it to total strangers to get a look at our new baby, so below are some pics of the game. I hope you'll agree that while it has taken some time to get ready, it looks like time well spent.

Also, the amazing folks at IDW want you to have the best game-playing experience possible. Once you get your game if you have ANY questions about how a rule works simply tweet @IDWGames or email Nate Murray: Nate@idwpublishing.com with that question and within 72 hours Nate will post a short video that will show you exactly how that part of the game works.

Yes, that's right, personalized rule explanations! That's pretty Bard-ass if I do say so myself.

(oh Conor, you're such a wit)

Now go swoon over some awesome game pictures!

Each character has their own unique player card that outlines their specific strengths and weaknessesAll the card types spread out.All the beautiful pieces of the game.The Game Board has to be FELT to be believed. The stretch goal we hit definitely gave the board a "lux" feel.Each turn you'll be forced to deal with world changing scenarios and take on challenging quests based on Shakespeare's plays.Each turn you're going to need to buy, trade or otherwise get your hands on resources like troops, stolen letters, and maps of cities in order to stop Richard and Lady M.Oh yeah, this game has some meat. Look at the back of the box!The game comes with a super high-end version of the very first issue of Kill ShakespeareYour new favouite rulebook.
