Don’t starve waiting for Dont Starve: The Board Game, the award-winning wilderness survival video game adaptation!
Don’t Starve has been begging players to keep themselves satiated for over 10 years. But now, thanks to Glass Cannon Unplugged, in collaboration with Klei Entertainment, Don’t Starve is coming to tabletops through their Kickstarter campaign.
Don’t Starve: The Board Game Overview
In this roguelike-ish cooperative survival game, players are dropped into a randomly generated world where magic and science intertwine. They’ll have to rely on their wits to outsmart fate and stay alive. The game emphasizes player choice, dynamic combat, and open-world exploration with a day/night cycle. The iconic visual design adds to the allure of this bizarre and strange land.
Don’t Starve has always been a game about immersion. When you start a new game, you’re dropped into this world with nothing and expected to survive with nothing but sticks and rocks. But by the end, you’re a fully realized survival adventurer. The video game has tens of thousands of 5-star reviews and a solid 10/10 track record.
