The battle royale trend continues to roll inexorably onward, with board games set to be the next route of expansion. Coming to Kickstarter next month, Last One Standing seeks to replicate the resource-starved gunplay of a battle royale game on a shrinking hex map. It’s an intriguing proposition, especially at its proposed larger player count of 2-8 people. “Just like in the video games the battle royale genre creates unexpected moments but now they are shared in your community of friends,” creator Brandon McCaskill told Kotaku. A Kickstarter for the game is planned to launch on May 1st. 

Each turn, players will vie with each other on an ever-shrinking island. As new supplies are dropped or hexes removed from the game’s modular board, players will move, scavenge for supplies, and attack each other—forcing other players to discard their hard-earned gear. Each game has ten rounds, with each player taking two actions. Though McCaskill says he was inspired by PUBG, Last One Standing’s stylized visuals and characters are much more reminiscent of Fortnite or recently released Radical heights.
