Get ready for an all out war. It’s time to fight for your turf and face down those nefarious Judges. Forbidden Planet revealed on Twitter on Wednesday that a brand new Judge Dredd board game is available for pre-order!

The official press release is almost as exciting as picking up a regular Prog. Inspired by one of the most iconic arcs of the brilliant British comic, the card game throws players right into the action. “Players act as ‘Perps’ in their respective Blocks, when Block War breaks out. Blast the enemy, reinforce your gangs, or just drop a Boing on the Justice Department who is trying to stop you. Each player controls 5 windows on their side of the street. Place your gangs and open your windows to attack and close them to defend yourself. Down on ‘The Street’ the Justice Department has responded to the disturbance and have joined the battle.”In the game, you’re not only attacking your opponent, but also the Justice Department. Yeah, you have a lot going on. The goal is to defend yourself and also avoid facing Judge Dredd. No one wants to do that.

Judge Dredd: Block War, designed for two players, will be available to ship on November 26, 2018. We are super stoked to pick up this new card game and face off with Dredd himself (okay, maybe that part makes us a little nervous). Will you be pre-ordering this awesome offering? Let us know below!
