September 22, 2026 - Hooded Horse and Eremite Games are excited to announce that their critically acclaimed, best-selling roguelite city builder Against the Storm is coming to tabletop. Thanks to a new partnership with Mindclash Games, fans and board game enthusiasts can reclaim the wilderness in a brand-new format.
Against the Storm: The Board Game combines worker placement, resource management, city-building, exploration, and adventure, challenging 1 to 4 players to develop settlements in a world under constant threat from apocalyptic storms. Featuring variable setups with highly randomized resources and a deep economic system that rewards adaptability and long-term planning, players will lead and unite seven distinct species, each with their own strengths and needs.
The game can be played in standalone sessions – where no two runs will ever be the same – as well as a campaign mode where players must uncover the mysteries of the Blightstorm through each successive run, and seek out a way to stop it for good.
"In Mindclash, we found like-minded creators who prioritize gameplay and respect their community,” says Aron Pietroń, Co-founder of Eremite Games. “They're masters of their craft, and we couldn't ask for a better partner to bring Against the Storm to the tabletop. To board game enthusiasts: know that Mindclash has all the creative space they deserve, and we intend to keep it that way. And to Against the Storm fans: expect a deep, strategic experience that stays true to the world you know and love.”
“Getting the chance to adapt one of my favorite strategy video games is both a real honor and an exciting new endeavor for our studio,” says Viktor Péter, CEO & Game Director at Mindclash. “Against the Storm is such a clever, distinctive game, full of personality and novel ideas - its spirit feels very much at home with the kind of games we love to make at Mindclash. Capturing what makes it special on the tabletop is a fun challenge, and I hope the result will feel just as special to fans of the video game as it does to our own.”
Against the Storm: The Board Game is due to start crowdfunding in May 2027. You can follow the official GameFound page for updates on the campaign.
