Described as a “zone-crawling” experience, STALKER: The Board Game is a cooperative strategy game that takes on the popular dungeon crawling genre. It’s a 1-4 player game that promises to deliver an intense and immersive gaming experience, filled with stealth missions, tactical gunfights, artifact hunting, and navigating through dangerous anomalies while fighting mutants and many more.

Each story will consist of 2-4 scenarios, with each scenario taking approximately 2 hours to play through. This means players will be able to fully immerse themselves in the STALKER world, experiencing the highs and lows of surviving in a post-apocalyptic world.
