Last week and over the weekend, one of, if not the, largest board game and tabletop conventions, Spiel Essen, was held in Germany. Board game designers and publishers the world over made their way over to not only demo their games but also reveal brand new upcoming ones. One such game was Blade Runner 2099 from the folks over at Lucky Duck Games which is slated to launch on Kickstarter next year.

Lucky Duck Games, publisher of other such great titles as Unconscious Mind (a game we ranked as one of the best worker placement games you can play right now ) pulled back the cover -literally- of Blade Runner showing off the box during the show over the weekend. Details are still sparse about it but speaking with Lucky Duck, we were able to get a little more information to share. This latest tabletop adventure set in the Blade Runner universe will be a narrative-driven game that you will play alongside a digital app, providing the narration among other features. This time around humans will be the ones being persecuted the game and promises a detective-based cooperative adventure.
Fans of Ridley Scott’s neo-noir science fiction series have a lot to look forward to in the coming year.
