New Kingdom Hearts board game Talisman: Kingdom Hearts Edition is coming in 2019

[Yoshirai 145]

Contrary to any possible expectation, today The OP (aka USAopoly) announced the development of Talisman: Kingdom Hearts Edition, which is coming later this year. The OP is known for publishing other licensed version of popular classic games based on pop culture 3rd party properties. In this case, Talisman, an acclaimed board game published by Games Workshop, which is at its fourth edition, will feature a whole new Kingdom Hearts-inspired version.

The game will be playable for two to six players, and the selectable roles are going to be Sora, Kairi, Riku, King Mickey, and Goofy. The players’ main goal will be to “acquire the needed Strength and Magic to seal the Door to Darkness and keep Heartless from consuming the communal worlds”, according to an official press release. The board map will still feature three different regions, with custom six-sided dices, tokens, and cards, both the aspects of the original game and offering a new kind of Disney-based experience. Iconic locations such as Neverland and Traverse Town, a Munny-themed currency, and Gummy Paths, will mark the main characteristics of what is going to be the first Kingdom Hearts board game.

Are you looking forward to the board game release? Let us know if you're going to buy it in the comments!

Of course! It’s the story that takes place between kingdom hearts 1 and chain of memories. We gotta fill every possible time gap in the franchise with another game!

What about Donald? lol

OK, gotta admit I am so super excited for this. My dad and I used to play 4th edition Talisman all the time.

I've never played Talisman, but I think I need this board game to add to my Legend of Zelda Clue and Nintendo Monopoly.   I'm a hoarder of collectible board games.

This plays into my theory that 

Spoiler

Donald sacrifices himself to save Sora in KH4 because his mortal form was greatly damaged by the Zeta Flare. Goofy, using premonition saw Donald's fate the moment he started to form the spell circle, explaining why he shouted for him to stop. Unfortunately, when Donald transcended to save Sora, he was wiped from existence

 which is why he isn't in the board game.

Thanks for sharing this information with us, Yoshirai!

Ooh, a Kingdom Hearts Board Game!? I definitely gotta get in on that!

2 to 6 players, but only five characters to choose from? Is the 6th player just there for moral support? Where's Donald?
