Maestro Media is launching a Kickstarter for Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid, a new tabletop game based on Supercell’s top-selling mobile game.
The Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign is scheduled to being on June 17, but the team is already well under way on creating the tabletop game, said Javon Frazier, CEO of Maestro Media, in an interview with GamesBeat. The Clash of Clans tabletop game is expected to come out in 2026.
The game’s creative director is veteran tabletop game designer Eric M. Lang. In an interview, Lang said the game will have two to five players and it will be a strategy title that will resonate with Clash of Clans fans. Clash of Clans debuted 13 years ago but it still has 30 million daily active players.
“It’s targeted toward a giant new audience of millions of players that aren’t necessarily used to board games, but are used to big, complicated app games,” Lang said. “Because Clash of Clans is a really deep, immersive, rich experience. So we want to take that and make it a tabletop game. The big twist here is that there are two to five players at the table.”
In the game, Lang said you build your village, collect resources, create a loadout of units and then go raid other players’ villages to collect resources. You rank up on a leaderboard. It’s not unlike the mobile game, but this one takes about 90 minutes to play. Anywhere from two people to six can play.
“We just finished our rule book. Our rule books like 12 pages. I’m very happy about that,” Lang said.
He added, “You are a you are a clan leader, and you are building a village. You’re you’re building a village of with all the cool resources you get from Clash of Clans — gold elixir, free to play gems. And you’re building, literally, an engine of warfare.”
The engine gets better as you buy better buildings, get more resources and create the most effective village. You can score points with cool monuments and buildings and use resources to get more buildings or build loadout units like the Barbarian, the Archer, the Pekka and the Dragon. The goal will be to be the first player to get 40 points.
“This game is just all dopamine all the time, right? I get to set your stuff on fire. I get the points for it. I get the resources for it. But doesn’t stop you from getting on with the game because fire clears every turn,” Lang said.
“For a board game, players like you have this fun puzzle. You are building simultaneously a village for yourself to be an engine, and you’re building a playground for your opponents to raid,” said Javon Frazier, CEO of Maestro Media, in an interview with GamesBeat. “It’s fast paced, it’s deeply strategic, but it’s a full reimagining. It’s not just a re-creation one to one. It’s a bold reimagining.”
As a tabletop company, Maestro Media is growing fast, with revenues up 300% in the last three years. Frazier said the company talks with its partner Supercell, the maker of Clash of Clans, just about every day.
Lang said, “So for me, Clash of Clans been a bucket list game. I don’t even know if Javon knew that, but like so I played the game when it came out and I have a small bucket list of licenses that I think are like that. I want to reach new audiences, and I want to be the first tabletop game for a lot of different players.”
Frazier added, “I love our company really been focused on working with the top IPs in the world. Obviously, we work with Disney on multiple games. We work with Hello Kitty. We work with Smurfs. We work with Strawberry Shortcake.”
Frazier said Supercell has a supportive team and Lang is a genius.
Lang said, “I think tabletop games are always going to deliver. They don’t chase trendy stuff. They’re not looking for fads or trends. They’re looking for licenses of games that are for underserved markets. We want to make games that access your fond nostalgia for these properties and give it the respect it deserves.”
The company has 20 people. Its past successes include The Binding of Isaac 2, which was a highly successful tabletop game.
Lang has been making games for 28 years, but he said, “I desperately want to make games for players who don’t play board games. There’s no game like this on the market. It is a gateway game but also deep and rich. He thinks of the tabletop game as recession proof.
“Play never goes out of style,” he said.
