Brotherwise Games announced today that Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere is expanding in the tabletop space with a new war game set in the world of his best-selling Stormlight Archive series. Designed by designer John D Clair, Stormlight: War for Roshar pits the Coalition of Honor against the forces of Odium as they battle for the fate of Roshar.

War for Roshar is an epic board game that plays one-on-one, three-vs-one, or in teams of two over eight rounds, each punctuated by a raging Highstorm or Everstorm. During your turn, you’ll fight on multiple fronts. Upgrade your leaders, deploy units, play Stormlight-powered action cards, win neutral nations to your side, and fight to control territory. Your goal is to claim strategic Oathgates while you work to score secondary objectives every round. War for Roshar offers multiple paths to victory, but all require careful management of your heroes and armies in a rapidly evolving warscape.

Brotherwise CEO Chris O’Neal says, “War for Roshar captures the scale of action of the books perfectly. John has designed a game that lets you take heroic actions with the main characters of the books while at the same time influencing the strategic state of the board with armies and diplomacy. Whether you’re a Stormlight fan or just someone who loves strategic war games, you won’t want to miss this game.”

Brotherwise Games will crowdfund War for Roshar on Kickstarter this Fall, with a launch date to be announced soon. Backers will be able to pledge for the base game, or they can choose to upgrade their game with the Champions mini-expansion and deluxe components. Once fulfillment is complete in 2027, War for Roshar will be available through traditional retail channels around the holiday season next year.

War for Roshar won’t be the only product Brotherwise will offer during the campaign. Cosmere miniature packs will be available as add-ons, including new Stormlight sets and the first-ever Mistborn Premium Miniatures Set.

The campaign pre-launch page is live now, and you can follow the page to get notified when Stormlight: War for Roshar goes live this Fall.
