The Boys comic book series is getting its first tabletop board game. Called The Boys: This Is Going To Hurt, the game comes from 1First Games, which has utilized Kickstarter as a way to get the project funded. Already, the campaign has surpassed its initial goal of $50,000, though the more money that it makes, the more extras will be included in the game.
The Boys: This Is Going To Hurt is based on the original comic book series from Dynamite Entertainment as opposed to the popular TV series adaptation on Amazon Prime Video. It will come with five player pawns to pick from: Hughie, Billy Butcher, The Female, Frenchie, and Mother’s Milk. A deluxe edition version is also being offered, which includes sculpted player minis of these characters along with an over-sized Homelander bust.
From the Kickstarter page:
“To challenge HOMELANDER players will need to recruit an army of Supes using blackmail, money, and brawn, with occasional Compound V use for an extra boost. There are over 80 unique characters as well as an assortment of items from the comics to help. Once they feel strong enough to face HOMELANDER, they have a chance to save the world and be the victor! But, if no one can defeat HOMELANDER in time… it’s GAME OVER for us all.”
