What Do We Know About Rayman The Board Game?
A first look at the artwork for the game confirms Rayman will be joined by Globox as a playable character and since it can be played by up to five people at once, there will presumably be at least three more characters from the Rayman video games joining them. Players will be tasked with rescuing Teensies, a race of characters that have been ever-present in the series since Rayman 2. The Glade Of Dreams, the world in which all Rayman video games take place, is the backdrop, and it’s recommended for anyone between the ages of seven and 77. Bad news for anyone who’s about to turn 78.
Rayman the Board Game has been created by FLYOS, a tabletop company with a lot of promising previous having created The Lab and Survive Until Daylight. It also has prior experience when it comes to turning a video game into an entertaining board game, Vampire The Masquerade Chapters a part of its back catalog. FLYOS has worked with Maxime Tardif - of Earth and BrilliAnts fame - on the Rayman game’s design.
