Street Fighter: The Miniatures game

Jasco Games has licensed Capcom’s classic Street Fighter for a miniatures-based board game which is being offered exclusively to backers of its Kickstarter campaign. The game is expected to release next March.


Street Fighter: The Miniatures Game is a card-driven tactical combat game featuring the characters from the classic arcade game. The characters move around the game board, which is filled with 3D cardboard terrain pieces that can be smashed by the fighters or used as obstacles. Cards determine which moves the fighters can make, with attacks and defenses resolved through the use of dice. The game will include one-on-one, free-for-all, team play, and boss mode variants.

Each character in the game is represented by a “collector’s scale” pre-painted plastic miniature ranging from 65mm to 85mm in height and mounted on a sculpted 58mm base, plus a unique 40-card deck of move cards.

The game will include 6 character miniatures plus 2 boss miniatures, 4 battle maps, an assortment of 3d terrain, 428 cards, 8 battle dice, 10 double sided character cards, 8 double sided player boards, and an assortment of game counters.  Additional materials may be added based on stretch goals, along with add-on kits featuring additional characters.

Production will be funded through a Kickstarter campaign which has so far reached $612,596 from 3,122 backers (an average of $196.22 per backer) with 28 days remaining.  Backer fulfillment is scheduled for March, 2019.

Jasco has announced that the game will not be offered through the trade.  According to the Kickstarter campaign page, the “costs of manufacturing a game like this are extremely high” due to the quality, size, and quantity of miniatures and cards.  The company plans to have a few copies for direct sale at conventions.

WizKids will release Magic: The Gathering — Heroes of Dominaria, a new strategy board game, this summer.  This is the first game announced as part of the expanded licensing arrangement with Wizards of the Coast last year (see “WizKids to Produce ‘Magic: The Gathering’ Board Game, Minis”).

Players take the roles of powerful heroes traveling the ancient lands of Dominaria (Llanowar, Urborg, Keld), building sites and gathering artifacts before they confront the Cabal to gain resources needed to save the multiverse.  Players must use strategy to build up their arsenal, and earn the most victory points overall to win the game.

The box will (tentatively) include a game board, 4 player mats, 16 hero tokens, 24 site tokens, 32 leyline tokens, 150 mana tokens, 1 turn tracker token, 20 cabal tokens, 15 artifact tokens, 20 site mana tokens, 50 card Dominaria deck, 45 card quest deck, 10 public quest tiles, 20 card artifact deck, rulebook, and two-part organizational tray.  The game is for 2 – 4 players, ages 14 and up, and plays in 90 minutes.  MSRP is $59.99.  Release is planned for August.

A Premium Edition of the game will also be released, that includes 4 exclusive pre-painted miniatures.  MSRP is $79.99.  Release is planned for September.
