Oni Press Rolling Out Line of Board Games Based on Their Comics

As a long-time fan of Oni Press and their captivating comic book series, I am beyond excited about this new collaboration between Oni and leading board game publisher Maestro Media! The opportunity to bring these beloved stories to life through immersive board games is a dream come true for me.


Oni Press has given ComicBook an exclusive preview of a fresh licensing agreement they’ve struck with Maestro Media, a prominent board game publisher. Starting today, the two companies will unveil their new partnership, which includes creating three board games inspired by beloved comic book series from Oni Press. The collaboration will result in the production of games based on “The Sixth Gun” by Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt, “Dwellings” by Jay Stephens, and “Jill and the Killers” by Olivia Cuartero-Briggs and Roberta Ingranata.

Before Comic Con International in San Diego, the anticipated announcement is made as both companies prepare to showcase their collaborative plans for a new gaming partnership. The games under development are done so in close collaboration with the creators of each respective title, and the initial games birthed from this partnership are scheduled for release in 2025.

Hunter Gorinson, President and Publisher at Oni Press, expressed his excitement about collaborating with Maestro Media: “It’s a great joy to unite the creators of Oni with Maestro Media, known for their exceptional lineup of tabletop games. We share the same passion for comics and storytelling, and we can’t wait to introduce these games to both dedicated readers and new players.”

As a passionate fan, I’m thrilled to share that each board game announced will bring the unique charm of its corresponding comic book series to life for me. These games promise an engaging and immersive experience, transporting us deep into the beloved worlds we adore. The talented team behind these tabletop creations, known for their exceptional work on recent hits like The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls, Hello Kitty: Day at the Park, and the soon-to-be-released Smurfs Hidden Village, will ensure top-tier game design that delivers a truly unforgettable adventure.

The new Oni-Maestro partnership will include:

  • The Sixth Gun: A Post-Civil War Tale of Dark Magic and a Powerful Firearm

  • In the acclaimed horror comic by Emmy Award-winning artist Jay Stephens, referred to as “the best horror comic of the last 20 years” by The Comics Journal, welcome to Elwich – a seemingly idyllic small town. Here, schools brim with cheerful kids, houses boast charming facades on historic avenues, and the atmosphere radiates perfection. However, only crows can witness the grotesque reality lurking beneath: a world of murder, demonology, and insanity concealed behind every pristine dwelling. Elwich is home to countless terrifying tales waiting to be uncovered.

  • “Jill and the Homegrown Killers” or “The Killer in Our Midst, Jill’s Story”: Unraveling the enigma of Olivia Cuartero-Briggs and Roberta Ingranata’s gripping whodunit! The tranquil life of teenager Jill Estrada in an isolated Arizona community is shattered when her mother goes missing without a trace. Just as Jill begins to grapple with this loss, she stumbles upon a chilling true-crime game subscription that appears to hold cryptic hints, revealing knowledge only someone intimately connected to the case could possess.
