Helluva Boss: The Seven Sigils Cooperative Board Game Announced!

I know this one will please several of my close friends… (he writes as he’s actually wearing a Hazbin Hotel t-shirt)

Collider broke the news with an exclusive, on 8th October, that Warren James Games and animation studio SpindleHorse have announced Helluva Boss: The Seven Sigils, a cooperative board game based on the adult animation series created by Vivienna Medrano. The show, which is available on Amazon Prime, shares the same setting as the fan-favourite Hazbin Hotel (also available on Prime), with both having developed devoted fan bases.

Helluva Boss creator, Vivienna Medrano, has been involved in the games development. The game, designed for two to four players, casts the group as members of the Goatia experimenting with Sin Shards, powerful magical materials tied to the setting. The objective is to to complete seven Sigils, with the group winning or losing together.

Players drop the shards in to a physical tower, with the resulting draw helping to determine the options available to them as they work on the Sigils. The game includes seven decks, linked to the Seven Rings of Hell.

Completeing a Sigil increases the requirements for the Sigils next to it, so finishing one objective makes the surrounding objectives harder. Players cans spend Gold to use single use Spell Cards, and their are optional “remix” rules and higher starting requirements which make the difficulty level of the game harder as players get used to the game for future games.

Adam Neyland, SpindleHorse senior writer, says that the game explores a part of Hell’s society that the series has not yet examined in depth, so the game may be introducing fans to new corners of the helluva Boss world that we haven’t seen - or know very little about - which will add an extra layer of interest for existing fans of the series.

A Kickstarter campaign is planned, although no details of a launch date, prices, or expected delivery date are known at the time of writing. Pre-registration is open now though, and people who sign up will recieve campaign updates, as well as those pre-registrants who go on to pledge receiving a free pin.

The project follows on from Warren James Games recent SPACE KING! The Board Game, which raised amost $10 million recently on Kickstarter.
