The Terminator: The Official Board Game Hires William Wisher As Story Consultant

THE TERMINATOR is BACK but this time also bringing T1 and T2 writer William Wisher back to consult on a story that adheres to the rules of the first (and what we consider the best Terminator movie!) The Terminator really is TERMINATOR in its purest and most undiluted form; free from commercialism and cash grab bullshit!

This time the horror is being unleashed in the form of a board game!

The Terminator™ Board Game Rights Acquired by Space Goat
Original Screenwriter brought on as Story Consultant

(November 15th, 2016 – Bellingham, WA) – Space Goat Productions announced today that they will be partnering with Studiocanal, Oak Productions, and Creative Licensing to make The Terminator: The Official Board Game™, which will be launching on Kickstarter in February of 2017.

William Wisher, one of the screenwriters of the original 1984 film, has been brought on as a story consultant. “I’m very excited to be consulting with the creative team at Space Goat to bring The Terminator™ board game to life!” said William Wisher. “I’ve missed my old friends Sarah Connor, Kyle Reese, and the T-800. It will be fun to spend time with them again!”

“We’re bringing 1984 back. The only movie we care about is the original. We love retro. We want to explore the beginning.” Space Goat President Shon Bury said. “Which is why for this game, we’re focusing on what hardcore Terminator fans love about the original movie. ”

The board game is currently under production. The Terminator™: The Official Board Game is an asymmetrical strategy game played across two boards – one in 1984 and one in 2029. One player takes control of all the forces of the machines: Hunter Killer flying machines, Terminator endoskeletons, and new robots based on the classic 80s aesthetic. The rest of the players take the role of the human resistance, struggling against the impossible odds of the machine uprising.

“At its robotic heart, The Terminator™ is a raw and intense chase scene,” Evil Dead 2 Board Game Designer Taylor Smith said. “Combine that with a reactive time travel mechanic and you get a super fun mash-up of action and strategy.”

So far our interest is peaked, the game looks set to feature new machines and is looking to stay true to the original world brought to us by James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd, we love integrity,- especially seeing as it had flown out the window too many times already; William Wisher’s involvement instills faith in the product even in this early stage, the project will be Kickstarted and we will be supporting it without question!
