Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 2017 following a successful crowdfunding campaign, This War of Mine: The Board Game is an adaptation of the acclaimed 2014 video game by 11 bit studios. Designed by Michał Oracz and Jakub Wiśniewski, the board game was created to translate the harrowing experience of civilian survival during an urban siege into a cooperative tabletop format. The developers aimed to emphasize the moral dilemmas and resource management challenges inherent in war, stripping away the traditional tropes of combat games to focus on the psychological toll of survival.

The game is noted for its narrative-heavy structure, utilizing a 'Book of Scripts' to drive branching stories that adapt to the players' choices. It received significant critical attention for its somber tone and its ability to maintain the high stakes of the source material through complex mechanics. By design, the game avoids clear-cut winners, instead focusing on the collective struggle of characters attempting to endure the realities of a conflict-ridden city until the siege concludes.
