Sniper Elite the Board Game, a game that’s all about “pushing your luck and predicting your enemy,” supports up to four players, with one taking on the role of American sniper Karl Fairburne and up to three others controlling the German forces. The former has their own hidden board on which they’ll stealthily move Karl through the secret U-boat launch facility, taking out mission objectives as they go, while the latter group must defend key locations and try to hunt down the allied sniper.
Those playing as the sniper can use equipment cards and lay traps to aid them in their mission, while defenders can call upon specialist soldiers from amongst the ranks of their squads, such as fast moving scouts, healing medics and attack-focused Jager troopers.

The game has been designed by David Thompson (War Chest, Castle Itter) and Roger Tankersley, and has artwork and miniatures designed by the video game series’ concept art team.

Backer rewards include a solo mode, the Eagles Nest expansion pack, and a unique Hitler teste-kill miniature that recreates one of the series most iconic moments.

“It’s a privilege to bring the hugely popular Sniper Elite video game series to the tabletop, with brilliant designers, beautiful art and lovingly crafted miniatures,” said Rebellion Unplugged head Duncan Molloy. “Sniper Elite the Board Game delivers all the tension and excitement about the video games. We can’t wait for players to get their hands on it!”

At the time of writing, the Kickstarter campaign currently has amassed almost half of its £22,000 goal from 196 backers.
