Stonemaier Games Announces RED RISING Board Game

Stonemaier Games recently announced a new game called Red Rising. The game is based on the book series by Pierce Brown which follows a dystopian society that has been divided into 14 castes. In Red Rising, 1-6 players will represent different houses trying to rise to power and gather followers. The game is designed by Alexander Schmidt and Jamey Stegmaier and features art by Miles Bensky, Jacqui Davis, and Justin Wong.

Red Rising is a hand-management, combo-building game for 1-6 players (45-60 minute playing time). You start with a hand of 5 cards, and on your turn you will deploy 1 of those cards to a location on the board, activating that location’s benefit. You will then gain the top card from another location (face up) or the deck (face down), adding it to your hand as you enhance your end-game point total.

In addition, you can sign up for the newsletter and for each email collected by February 16, Stonemaier Games has pledged to donate $1 to the ACLU. More details of the game will release in the coming months with pre-orders going live in March. Also, you can check out this personality quiz to get an idea of which house is a good fit for you.
