Hachette Boardgames UK has announced the upcoming release of Wednesday: Creatures and Outcasts, a captivating new card game inspired by the hit Netflix series – Wednesday.
The game promises to immerse players in a world of mystery, strategy, and supernatural intrigue. It is designed by René Groen, a game designer known for his work on licensed board games such as Peaky Blinders, Jurassic World, and Candy Crush.
“The inimitable world of Wednesday is brought to life in this lightning-fast card game that’s set to be a hit with everyone, from normies to freaks and outcasts”
In Wednesday: Creatures and Outcasts, 2-6 players engage in a battle of wits, playing cards on a stack where each card must be higher than the previous one.
The big twist is that there is a second stack of cards comprised of well-known characters from the Wednesday series. As they are brought into play, they will introduce unexpected changes to the game and radically alter the rules, keeping everyone on their toes. After five thrilling rounds, the player with the best score emerges victorious.
Rob Trounce of Hachette Boardgames UK said: “The inimitable world of Wednesday is brought to life in this lightning-fast card game that’s set to be a hit with everyone, from normies to freaks and outcasts. The gameplay is tactical and smart and full of clever nods towards the characters and story of the show. We can’t wait to see this one hit tables later this year, and it’s been a smash hit in all of our demo sessions so far.”
The game will launch in the UK in September 2024 with Season 2 of Wednesday scheduled for 2025.
