Klabater’s flagship project will soon have its board game adaptation

WARSAW – June 17, 2021 – Crossroads Inn, Klabater’s best-selling game (PC, Xbox One / Series X), sets off to conquer the board game market. The creators plan a crowdfunding campaign in the second half of the year.

Crossroads Inn: The Board Game is a strategic and economic board game that, like its digital original, will allow players to manage the development of their inn. The game takes place in the kingdom of Yorevale, where – absolutely accidentally – monarchs keep dying, and their illegitimate children have to compete with each other for influence and power. Players will take on the roles of royal bastards and try to take over the crown. To avoid a bloody civil war, a deal is made, and an honorable bet is born: whoever builds the best inn will become not only the “king” of local gastronomy but also the king of all of Yorevale! So put on aprons and chef’s hats, grab a spatula – and get to work!

Check the project details and sign up for the newsletter 

The original Crossroads Inn game debuted on PC on October 23, 2019, and within hours of its release, the game climbed to 3rd place of the global bestsellers, selling over 100,000 copies, including the season pass and DLCs. On May 19, 2021, the game was also released on Xbox One and Series X consoles.

In line with the latest market trends, Klabater plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign in the second half of the year. Crowdfunding websites such as Kickstarter and Gamefound specialize in founding board games, which is confirmed by the fantastic results of many campaigns of games from this genre in recent months.

“The board game market is currently experiencing an amazing boom all over the world. An element of this phenomenon is also the production of board games based on hits known to fans from PC and consoles. Many of them are very successful on crowdfunding sites, such as tabletop adaptations of The Witcher or Frostpunk.” – says Michał Gembicki, Joint-CEO at Klabater. “Crossroads Inn is a strong fantasy brand that also offers a good dose of humor. I think it’s a great starting point for a fine board game.”  Below we present an infographic presenting the upcoming activities related to the Crossroads Inn tabletop edition:

In Crossroads Inn: The Board Game players will build an inn from scratch and prepare unique meals, all to meet the expectations of guests from various social classes. It doesn’t matter if it’s simple and folksy Distressed or sublime and capricious representatives of the nobility – everyone wants to drink and eat well. The gameplay will be based on predicting – and blocking! – the actions of the rest of the bastard siblings who run the competing taverns. The one who unscrupulously uses the gold, rumors, and weaknesses of their opponents, will win. There is room for many innkeepers in the kingdom… but there can be only one king! 

Crossroads Inn: The Board Game offers many ways of achieving this goal. Buying new furniture, getting unique recipes and ingredients for dishes, well-trained employees – everything can help the player achieve the final victory. And if that’s not enough, seductive Vedetas and silver-tongued bards will take care of the needs of even the most demanding guests.

Crossroads Inn: The Board Game offers:

• Thrilling strategic and economic gameplay for 2-4 players!
• Two dishes on one plate – become the “king” of gastronomy, and at the same time… the king of Yorevale!
• Five different social classes of guests whose favor the players must win. Distressed, Outlaws, Travellers, Townsfolk, and Nobles – each class prefers a different type of food and interior design!
• “Prestige track”, or the way to one’s heart is through their stomach – a unique mechanic that allows you to win the game with fame and prestige points.
• A system of spreading negative rumors about the competition. Decide whether to slander other players politically, economically, or perhaps with the help of rumors from the Yorevale travel routes.
• A unique fantasy world known from the original PC game – but served with ‘a pinch of salt.’
• Hire and fire employees; plague your opponents with an arsenal of dirty tricks.

The highly anticipated multiplayer combat title invites players from all over the world to experience an entirely new take on the battle royale genre; available through Steam.

Hangzhou, June 17, 2021 | Leading Chinese developer 24 Entertainment is proud to announce that NARAKA: BLADEPOINT has begun its final open beta, with the NARAKA: BLADEPOINT beta live on Steam until June 22nd.

This beta sees a new addition to the game, the Spear, which players can use to stylishly stab and slash their way to victory. Another notable feature new to this latest beta is a newly optimised parkour system, meaning travel throughout Morus Island now requires fewer inputs; offering a much smoother experience than last time out.

NARAKA: BLADEPOINT currently has servers in LATAM, NA (East and West coast), EU, SEA and, CN, AS. Nvidia DLSS and Nvidia Reflex are both enabled in the beta as well.

With the addition of more Soul Jades, reworked heroes and more gameplay optimisations, 24 Entertainment are hopeful that players who loved the previous beta should be thrilled with the changes they’ve made to the game.

Lesquin, France, June 17, 2021 – The time has come for adventurers to play their trump card! Roguebook, the roguelike deckbuilder developed by Abrakam Entertainment and co-designed by Richard Garfield, creator of Magic: The Gathering^TM, is now available on Steam.

Check out our video review for Roguebook here:

Roguebook takes place in the fantasy world of Faeria. You must build a team of two heroes and battle the legends of the Roguebook in tactical turn-based combat. The Roguebook is a cursed book whose existence threatens all living beings.

Build a team of two heroes: each of the four heroes available has their own special cards. You must develop your strategy and play your cards at the best moment and in the right order to create devastating combos or protect your weaker hero.

Upgrade your deck: you can boost the effects of cards by adding gems. You can also transmute your cards to create completely new effects!

Collect as many cards as possible: unlike other games of this type where refining your deck is one of the most common strategies, Roguebook encourages players to build as big a deck as possible to unlock unique skills for your heroes. These skills can be crucial to the success of your quest!

Explore the world in your own way: the chapters of Roguebook are told in a non-linear way. Reveal areas of the map with the ingenious ink system and explore as much of the map as possible to unearth all its treasures!

Every run counts: in true roguelike fashion, you must start from the beginning after a defeat. But you become more powerful with each run thanks to the new cards, skills and permanent upgrades you have unlocked! 

Check out the first 30 minutes of gameplay below:

Roguebook is now available on Steam
The game will arrive later on PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch^TM
