In addition to announcing May 27th as the launch date for their Kickstarter campaign, Iconiq Studios has given us a peek into what’s in store for the upcoming Tomb Raider board game. Though there are more exciting details and rewards to come when the Kickstarter launches, we now have a basic understanding of how the gameplay will unfold.

Tomb Raider: The Crypt of Chronos Gameplay Details

In the forthcoming Tomb Raider board game titled “The Crypt of Chronos“, Lara Croft embarks on a mission to the island of Kairos to retrieve the Chronos Artifact. Gaming enthusiasts will traverse the game’s board, negotiating “evolving levels” and utilizing six customized Lara dice for various tasks such as exploration, resource collection, and uncovering hidden mysteries. The players decide how to allocate their dice, amplifying the effectiveness of specific actions but potentially weakening others.

The upcoming Tomb Raider game is designed to emulate classic elements of the series, offering players a chance to explore intricate tombs filled with puzzles that demand strategic thinking in gameplay decisions. Furthermore, gamers will have the opportunity to create an assortment of items such as weapons, outfits, and special abilities. This crafting feature will prove crucial, since Nalta Tech has sent mercenaries to the island in a bid to outrun Lara and seize the Chronos Artifact before her. Players must navigate swiftly against the clock, combat formidable foes, and ultimately secure the prize on their adventure.
