Board Games Based Off Of Video Games!

Look Mom! I'm doing something that's not on a computer!

Board Games Based Off Of Video Games. Self-explanatory title is self-explanatory.


Street Fighter

In the Street Fighter Board Game, you become one of the famous fighters from the famous franchise, and attempt to add more cards to your deck to give your fighter more power.

You start with a 10-card deck, and expand that by getting new cards. Once you get enough power, you can attempt to defeat a Stage Boss. You can defend yourself from attacks using defense cards, and due to me not having the game, that's about as far as my knowledge goes. However, the fact that there is a Street Fighter Deck-Building Board Game is pretty badass, so you should go check it out.

Legend of Zelda

Nintendo is normally a bit stingy about letting other companies use there brand names. However, when they let it happen, the final product is awesome. Just take Legend of Zelda Monopoly! Cause I mean, who doesn't want to collect Rupees to buy Hyrule? That's just awesome. Chance and Community Chests are replaced by Empty Bottle and Treasure Chests Cards. Here is he ThinkGeek description:

"The land of Link and Zelda is a beautiful place. With its trees and fields bomb shops and... we just want to own it all! And now we can play super-greedy-land-baron(ess) and buy up all of Hyrule and neighboring locales, and then charge our friends tons of cash when they come to visit. We can, because we have The Legend of Zelda Monopoly!

The Legend of Zelda Monopoly takes players on a trip through time as they travel through the land of Hyrule and beyond. Memorable locations include Link's House, Temple of Time, and the Lon Lon Ranch - and are all up for grabs. Everything has been revamped Zelda-style. As a super bonus, you get 6 collectible (and metal) playing tokens. The Legend of Zelda Monopoly: Link loves it, and so will you!"

Mass Effect

While my favorite Risk adaptation is the Dalek-filled Doctor Who one, that's probably cause I'm not lucky enough to own Mass Effect Risk.

It's Reapers vs. Humans. no surprise there. The Game comes with 242 Custom Pieces for Mass Effect Factions. For all diehard Mass Effect fans, this is a must-have.

Doom

The ancestor of all FPS today, Doom, believe it or not, became a Tabletop Board Game. The game is kind of like Dungeons and Dragons, with one player controlling the monsters. From my understanding, Puzzle Pieces fit together which can create scenarios for the player to go through. Sorry for not making many references, but being a younger gamer, I am only aware of Doom for the path it set for FPS' today, I have not actually played it, sadly.

Hopefully this help add to your blank list of hobbies that aren't gaming.

Also, I want that Zelda Monopoly badly.
