The computer game is great and the dev team exemplary when it comes to support and updates- do you think it will translate well into a boardgame?
Time will tell. I haven’t played Terraria much(/at all?) but from what I’ve seen it could probably go in a lot of directions.
Personally I’ve played a bunch of pretty great video game adaptations: Minecraft B&B is a simple but cool little game and Mechs vs Minions was a lot of fun too. Fallout was a mixed bag. The basegame was an unbalanced mess but the coop mode made that not matter anymore.
We’ll have to wait and see…
I got burned with the Stardew Valley board game - it’s very cute, but also not a great game. And for my non-designer brain it’s way easier to translate Stardew into a boardgame than Terraria. I will definitely wait out some reviews and the BGG forums…
I am also skeptical about it. Are there good examples of video game to boardgame adaptations?
