There’s going to be a second Mega Man board game

Presumably we’ll see a Kickstarter soon

Jasco might have recently announced that supporting the original Mega Man board game (pictured above) was a complicated issue they didn’t know how to address, but they currently have their hands full with Street Fighter: The Miniatures Game and…another Mega Man board game?

Announced by way of a Kickstarter update for the original, Jasco is now in the process of “contracting out designers” for both the first board game and will begin work on a second. If you blink you’ll miss half of that statement: they’re seemingly going to update the original, that they couldn’t fix it, noting, “Our design team decided the issue with the game’s length lies with the board, and this is a component that cannot be easily changed and released for free as a digital file.” Maybe a second edition? Either way the long length and convoluted rules for the original never really bothered me, but if potential tweaks bring more players in — that’s a win-win.

Odds are they’ll spring for another Kickstarter for the upcoming follow-up, as Jasco usually runs them for basically all of their projects and it’s a way to get guaranteed pre-orders.
