posted on by Karen Ressler
Seven Seas Entertainment's tabletop game subsidiary Shinobi 7 announced on Friday that it plans to release a miniatures board game titled Sonic the Hedgehog: Battle Racers. The retail version is slated for the second half of 2018, but Shinobi 7 is also planning to launch a Kickstarter campaign in early February for limited edition items.
Shinobi 7 describes the strategic game for 2-5 players:
Burst into action with Sonic the Hedgehog: Battle Racers! Select your racer, choose your route, and fight your way to the finish while avoiding opposing racers and a variety of dangerous obstacles. Control your speed, use your abilities, and activate your special powers to collect as many rings as you can in an amazing race. The course changes with every race, so no two games are alike!The base game will feature five highly-detailed full color miniatures of the following characters: Sonic, Knuckles, Amy, Tails, and Dr. Eggman. Also included are a variety of colorful cards, tokens and race tracks. Every expansion set will contain one pre-painted character miniature and their racer profile, while larger expansions will also be available and will include additional track sections. All miniatures will be 40mm scale.
Seven Seas launched Shinobi 7 in 2016 and has since released Space Dandy: Galactic Deck-Building Game, Tokyo Ghoul: The Card Game, and My Little Pony: Tales of Equestria.
