(Crowdfund Quest) Siege Perilous

Crowdfund Quest is a daily column that takes us on an expedition into tabletop crowdfunding with a look at a current project in the tabletop gaming world.

Adventure through Arthur’s Britain in pursuit of glory and renown in Siege Perilous, a 1-4 player open world boardgame by designers Ivan Alexiev and Brian Saliba, and published by Play to Z.

Sally forth into a living Arthurian world, a competitive sandbox teeming with knights and courtiers, sorcerers and warlords, giants and dragons - all drawn from over five hundred years of literature and lore. Deeds of derring-do await the worthy, but winning the famed seat known as the Siege Perilous will require more than a powerful sword arm. The knight who claims the chair will be an exemplar of both skill and virtue. Gird fast your harness, gather your arms and retinue, and forge a new legend - your own!

In this expansive (and expandable) Euro-style, open-world board game, 1 to 4 players will traverse 12 kingdoms that compose Arthur’s Britain, each kingdom containing unique interactable locations, including castles, churches, training towers, ports, markets, fountains, dungeons, and the famed Forest Sauvage. The map itself changes throughout the game, as new events arise, foreeign campaigns become available, and Merlin appears with tasks that need doing.

Siege Perilous is currently funding on Gamefound, with the campaign running until Friday 17th July 2026.
