If you’re waiting for Nightreign, 15% off the upcoming Elden Ring: The Board Game should tide you over

At times, when your preferred video games merge with exceptional board games, enchanting events unfold, and we’re always thrilled to witness such occurrences. In intriguing updates for the adventurers of the Lands Between, Elden Ring is planning its transition to tabletop at the end of March, as Elden Ring: The Board Game arrives on the scene.

Given the expansive digital realm of Elden Ring, its board game counterpart also carries a considerable size, inevitably leading to a higher cost. However, if you’re savvy about where to pre-order, you can secure a substantial discount.

Presently, you can reserve Elden Ring: The Board Game’s main set for $169.99 at Miniature Market, typically priced at $199.99. If you reside in the United Kingdom and are an Elden Ring enthusiast, you can take advantage of a more generous 24% discount, with the price being £151.89 at Zatu.

Consider purchasing this item if you are an avid fan of From Software, appreciate intricate miniature items, and have enjoyed past games published by Steamforged.

* Are anticipating our Elden Ring: The Board Game review before making a decision. (This implies that you might want to wait for the review before buying.)

Should you buy Elden Ring: The Board Game?

The reputation of Elden Ring: The Board Game on BoardGameGeek has been somewhat marred by a score of 4.2, but upon closer inspection, it appears that the negative reviews on the site don’t actually provide much constructive criticism about the game itself. This might be because the game isn’t set to release until the end of this month.

Most of the criticisms leveled against the game are about its high price point and a swift Kickstarter campaign that some users felt was over in the blink of an eye. However, with the game now available for purchase and offering a 15% discount, these complaints seem less relevant. Our review is still underway, but our preview of Elden Ring: The Board Game described it as a “labor of love” featuring “tough quests and rewarding loot-gathering”.

When it comes to buying a board game before its official release, there’s always an element of buyer beware. But rest assured, you’ll receive 51 amazing Elden Ring miniatures and around 30-40 hours of campaign content from the designers who brought us Resident Evil: The Board Game and Monster Hunter World: The Board Game (both games that we at GamesRadar+ were huge fans of).
