Arcane Wonders has announced that a Kickstarter for Call of Duty: The Board Game will go live in summer later this year. Players can sign-up to be among the first to hear of any new details relating to the game and its Kickstarter.

The initial crowdfunding will be for a special collector’s edition of the game, which will reportedly include some more content compared to the final retail version. Additional content will also be made available as separate packages further down the line.

Speaking to Polygon, Arcane Wonders’ president, Robert Geistlinger said, “It’s fairly common for board games to crowdfund, and of course this is an officially licensed game being produced by us here at Arcane Wonders."

Geistlinger went on to say, "the Activision team has been a wonderful partner in allowing us to create and play in their world, but at the end of the day, this is our experience that we’re bringing to gamers, and that team has kindly allowed us to use whatever tools and platforms we feel are necessary to make the best version of our game for their fans.”

The two-player retail base game will reportedly be available for $50, with multiple sets being combined to expand to four-player matches.
