IDW Games Announces New Godfather Franchise of Games for This Summer
Hey you … c’mere.
I gotta offer for you – you know, one that you jus’ can’t refuse.
… Well, particularly if you play board games and love The Godfather franchise of films, that is.
On March 19th, IDW announced it would release a line of The Godfather tabletop games ranging from quick-to-play card and dice games to big box strategic board games. Paramount Pictures’ The Godfather is widely recognized among the most revered films of all-time. “The Godfather is more than a movie, it’s an icon,” says IDW’s Director of Business Development, Jerry Bennington. “We plan to give players as many options as possible when it comes to gaming in this rich environment. From quick dice fun to intense big box strategy this will be a line of games truly worthy of the name The Godfather.”
The Godfather game line will start with a card game due out this summer and then see development into other products from there. The games will differ in expectations. While there won’t be prosciutto and Chianti served, you can expect to see range variations in length and complexity, and take place in various locations and timelines spanning the trilogy of films. Gamers can look forward to rising to power and doing everything they can to stay on top in a cutthroat world of the Mafia, politics and business.
The Godfather Card Game will hit stores August 2015. In the meantime, IDW Games will unveil more details about both the card and upcoming big box tabletop game on www.idwgames.com.
