Maestro Media formally launched its Kickstarter campaign for Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid, a new tabletop game based on Supercell’s top-selling mobile game.
[Update: At 9:21 a.m. Pacific time on June 17, 668 backers had already pledged $136,378], surpassing the $50,000 target easily.]
The Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign is starting today (June 17), but the team is already well under way on creating the tabletop game, said Javon Frazier, CEO of Maestro Media, in a GamesBeat interview for a story we ran last week. The Clash of Clans tabletop game is expected to come out in 2026. The Kickstarter has more than 12,000 followers.
The game’s co-designer is veteran tabletop game designer Eric M. Lang. In an interview for a story that we ran last week, Lang said the game will have two to four players and it will be a strategy title that will resonate with Clash of Clans fans. Clash of Clans debuted 13 years ago but it still has 30 million daily active players.
Maestro Media is building Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid.
“It’s targeted toward a giant new audience of millions of players that aren’t necessarily used to board games, but are used to big, complicated app games,” Lang said. “Because Clash of Clans is a really deep, immersive, rich experience. So we want to take that and make it a tabletop game. The big twist here is that there are two to four players at the table.”
In the game, Lang said you build your village, collect resources, create a loadout of units and then go raid other players’ villages to collect resources. You rank up on a leaderboard. It’s not unlike the mobile game, but this one takes about 90 minutes to play. Anywhere from two people to six can play.
“We just finished our rule book. Our rule books like 12 pages. I’m very happy about that,” Lang said.
He added, He added, “You are a clan leader, and you are building a village. You’re building a village with all the cool resources you get from Clash of Clans — gold, elixir, free to play gems. And you’re building, literally, an engine of warfare.”
Game designers Lang (Marvel: United, Star Wars: The Card Game, XCOM: The Board Game, Blood Rage) and Ken Gruhl (Life in Reterra, Mantis, Happy Salmon) have crafted this board game to immerse players in the Clash of Clans world in an exciting new format.
