Modiphius announces Two Discworld Board Games

Posted on by Leave a comment

Modiphius Entertainment is launching the pre-order of two new official Discworld board games; Kill Sam Vimes, a light board game of trainee assassins pursuing the impossible to kill Sam Vimes, and Readers Digested, a reimagining of Blue Moon City by Reiner Knizia set in the Unseen Library, on August 20, 2026.

KILL SAM VIMES

Kill Sam Vimes is a competitive strategy game for 2-6 players lasting around 60 minutes designed by Dom Westerland. Players take the role of trainee assassins, trying to complete the impossible – to get close enough to kill Sam Vimes!

Players will need to manoeuvre through the city, avoid Vimes’ traps, and outscore their rivals. The game ends when one House has had all of its assassins get into position to kill Sam Vimes, and the winner is the one who has gained the most house points across all of its assassins.

Pre-orders will also receive a bonus promo pack of four additional assassin cards, each with a unique special ability.

READERS DIGESTED

Reading week has arrived, and panicked wizards in training have descended on the Unseen University – and as assistant librarians, players must restore order and escort the wayward students to the exam hall.

A licensed reimagining of the eurogame Blue Moon City by Reiner Knizia, Readers Digested is a 2-4 player game, taking 60 minutes to play. Available to purchase will be a standard version, as well as a deluxe version that includes upgraded components, as well as rules for solo play.

Pre-orders will also include a bonus game tile to add to the game.

Available to pre-order from Modiphius. Both games will also be available to pre-order via Gamefound Express at a later date.

Fallout: Wasteland Warfare’s New Edition is Available for Pre-Order

Posted on by Leave a comment

Modiphius Entertainment has announced the pre-order is open for new Fallout: Wasteland Warfare starter sets, officially launching its new edition, a refined version of the much loved adventure wargame.

Originally released eight years ago, Fallout: Wasteland Warfare sees players exploring a generated wasteland, supported by a vast range of miniatures for an expansive and innovative wargame.

Building from the original sandbox philosophy, the new, second edition starter sets available for pre-order incorporate years of insights from the community. Modiphius Entertainment have refined the game that existing players know and love, to create a streamlined solo and cooperative adventure wargame that is accessible to new players, and which succeeds in offering an engaging narrative experience.

In Fallout: Wasteland Warfare’s second edition players emerge from a home settlement to procedurally explore a randomized wasteland around them, creating a campaign map of locations and enemies as they move around the map.

Combat encounters see their warband taking on mutants, wasteland wildlife, and other human factions as they fight for survival and supremacy in the post-atomic wastes quintessential to the Fallout franchise.

Players can play as one of four core factions on launch: Survivors, Super Mutants, the Brotherhood of Steel, and Wasteland Raiders, with more factions like the New California Republic and Caesar’s Legion being published later.

Modiphius’ extensive 32mm scale miniatures range will continue to be compatible with the new edition of the game, with core sets in multipart plastic kits, and its award-winning resin miniatures supplementing tabletop wastelands around the world.

Modiphius Entertainment has launched the pre-order for the anticipated solo edition of Fallout The Roleplaying Game: Wasteland Wanderer.

Based on Bethesda’s hugely successful Fallout series, Wasteland Wanderer allows players to record their adventures and play an RPG in the wasteland without the need for a group or gamemaster.

Available for £40 / $55 / €45, Fallout The Roleplaying Game: Wasteland Wanderer is expected to ship in April 2026.

With this 256-page, full-color, royal-sized hardcover guide players can:

  • Explore a randomly-generated wasteland and record your story as you travel the surface.
  • Learn about the Fallout setting and its factions from coast to coast.
  • Generate quests, scenarios, opponents, and obstacles from a huge variety of random oracle tables.

Modiphius Announces ‘Fallout: Power Play’ Card Game

Posted on by

Publisher of tabletop RPGs, wargames, and board games, Modiphius Entertainment Ltd. has launched the pre-order for the card game, Fallout: Power Play. Fallout: Power Play is a light strategy card game for 2-4 players designed by Resurrectionist Games.

Modiphius Announces New Terry Pratchett Discworld Games Coming in 2026

Posted on by
Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork

Publisher of tabletop RPGs, wargames, and board games, Modiphius Entertainment Ltd. has announced that it is developing new games for Terry Pratchett’s Discworld, set to be launched in 2026.

Most notably, Modiphius will be launching a new Discworld board game as a pre-order on Gamefound in Q1 of 2026 named Discworld: Readers Digested. Readers Digested will be a licensed edition of Blue Moon City, a game by Reiner Knizia, who is best known for his eurogame titles. Designed for 2-4 players, the game has been carefully reskinned with Discworld theming and features brand-new added expansion content.

Following a successful Kickstarter campaign for Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork which funded with over £2.4m, a retail edition of the core rulebook will be coming to stores in Q2 of 2026. Exclusive to friendly local gaming stores, this will be a digest-sized core rulebook as well as a starter set with an as-yet unpublished adventure for Adventures in Ankh-Morpork.

Modiphius is also planning to bring a Discworld card game to market in Q3 2026, titled Kill Sam Vimes. The card game drops your unlucky assassins into a contract to kill the titular character, as they try not to fall foul of deadly (and hilarious) traps and tricks imagined by the Duke of Ankh.

And that’s not all—coming in Q4 of 2026, building on the success of the first Kickstarter campaign, will be a second Discworld RPG campaign: Discworld: Adventures in Lancre and Uberwald, set to explore Lancre (including its Witches), Uberwald, and the Chalk.

For those looking to get their Discworld fix this year, Modiphius has partnered with AEG on Discworld Live – a TTRPG live show featuring High Rollers and Andy Farrant from Oxventure, at indigo at the O2 later this month. The cast will be playing The Hogswatch adventure, just in time for the festive season.

Modiphius Entertainment announces Broken Steppes, a new setting for Dreams and Machines

Posted on by
Broken Steppes

Modiphius Entertainment has launched the pre-order for a new setting guide, Broken Steppes, for its hopepunk sci-fi TTRPG, Dreams and Machines.

Providing tools for both gamemasters and players, the new guide contains a detailed overview of the Surienta Simio region of the Broken Steppes, including plenty of unique and exciting locations that could feature in adventures – meet the Flat Top-riding Spears of Highguard, discover the unique community living inside a hive of deadly Kornowasps, and uncover the fiery secrets of the abandoned city of Trisagasimio. 

For players, there are new GLIFs, talents, and equipment, as well as expanded rules for mounts and vehicles. The book also provides players with all the information they need to create their own Conduit player character. More commonly known amongst surface-dwellers as ‘Thralls’, Conduits have lived at odds with many of Evera Prime’s societies for years. Now, however, things are changing, and with a selection of Conduit-specific origins, archetypes, and equipment, players can create their own Conduit characters and join in the worship of the Generator.

Dreams and Machines is Modiphius’ own RPG setting where people come together to rebuild their world following a catastrophic war. Set in Evera Prime, players venture into a world of mystery and adventure, a world where slumbering mechs dot the landscape and people build their lives anew in the wreckage of paradise.

Releasing in October, the 128-page full-color, hardcover Broken Steppes Setting Guide features:

  • A complete overview of the Surienta Simio region of the Broken Steppes, including detailed location guides so you can seamlessly slot these places into your ongoing Dreams and Machines adventures.
  • Brand-new character creation options so players can create their own unique Conduit characters, utilizing a selection of Conduit-specific talents and Advanced Archetypes to help you immerse them in their way of life.
  • Conduit-themed locations to provide suitable backgrounds for new characters, or settings for adventures beyond the Broken Steppes.
  • All-new rules and guidance for player-run settlements, enabling players to create their own bespoke communities filled with NPCs, allies, and services, and grow them into warm villages that act as hubs for downtime and roleplay opportunities.
  • New GLIFs, talents, and equipment, including Conduit-specific gear and rules for harnessing some of the creatures of Evera Prime as ground mounts.

Posted on by

Modiphius Entertainment has announced that it is developing board games based on the classic video game DOOM.

Coming to Kickstarter later this year, Modiphius will offer backers two editions of the board game: DOOM | Arena Board Game, based on the original DOOM (1993) video game, and the DOOM: The Dark Ages | Arena Board Game, based on the latest critically acclaimed title in the franchise, DOOM: The Dark Ages. Both games will use the same ruleset, and the campaign will include a variety of expansions covering enemies found in both games, including an Atlan mech and the Mecha Dragon.

DOOM | Arena Board Game and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Arena Board Game will offer a quick-to-learn competitive game, where players face off as either the DOOM Slayer or the demonic hordes and rip and tear across a variety of battlefields. Featuring a host of devastating weapons and monstrous demons drawn directly from the seminal series, players will battle across three rounds with increasing stakes, decorating the hex-based arena with their opponent’s gibs!

Modiphius will be offering demos of early versions of the miniatures board games at this year’s Gen Con and QuakeCon. The final version of both board games will be available at a later date.

The free Quickplay is also available, streamlining the rules of the upcoming core book and allowing players to try the core mechanics and gameplay before backing the crowdfunding campaign. 

The reward tiers are:

  • Soft Assets – £5: rulebook in PDF only

As part of the Kickstarter, the Hardwar rulebook has been fully edited and reformatted into a table-friendly digest-size hardback, introducing solo and co-op rules, and features the Extended Hardware and No Heroes content previously only available in PDF. The miniature sets have all been re-mastered to provide crisper details truer to the original sculpts.

Modiphius has also developed brand-new solo play rules for the game. These will let players take their force, select a mission and then face off against a determined AI force generated as they explore the battlefield. Players will choose from quick skirmishes or open battles, and see their force grow – but should watch out for the AI’s cunning strategies!

In Hardwar, players take on a variety of roles from leading a private security company, commanding corporate forces, a revolutionary rabble, or a marshal protecting farmsteads. They will have access to a range of factions using pre-built units or can create rules for their favourite models with the simple construction system. The game has straightforward rules allowing a mix of classic armoured warfare, with mechs, spacecraft, exotic experimental weapons, cybernetics, sentient combat swarms and ECM. 

Originally developed by Strato Minis of Poland, with rules by Krzysztof Raczynski, Rafal Zerych, and Robey Jenkins, Strato Minis Studio was acquired by Modiphius Entertainment in 2024.
