Since Mega Man was one of the most popular 8-bit video game characters of all time, it's only right that someone finally created Mega Man: The Board Game.
That's right, the adventures of the Blue Bomber can now be enjoyed by two to eight people from the comfort of your kitchen table. The game was created by Jasco Games and was taken to Kickstarter for funding. Jasco Games smashed its funding goal of $70,000 and is currently sitting at $194,531 of pledged funds with 36 days left to go.
Mega Man The Board Game tasks players with fighting through boss battles while simultaneously trying to defeat one another via alliances and direct combat. Fans of the game will love the pieces, which pay homage to the characters in the series. A pledge of $70 gets you a copy of the game.
