Toy and game manufacturer Toy Vault will be publishing a new mech-fighting board game designed by Richard Borg (Memoir 44, BattleLore).  The new game, entitled Abaddon, is expected to release in 2012.

 

The game is set on the planet Abaddon, a desolate wasteland that produces “Feronium.”  Two factions fight for control of the resource using mechanized suits called “Links.”

 

Battles take place on a 28” by 19” game board using 32 detailed miniatures and 18 free-standing landscape features.  The game system utilizes a deck of 100 cards representing offensive and defensive weapon systems and special battle dice.  Unpredictable and random events and malfunctions are resolved through the use of special “Wild Fire” cards.  15 mission scenarios are included.

 

Abaddon is designed for two to four players.
