| LOS ANGELES 04/29/2024 — Today Off the Pages Games, in a licensing agreement with Skybound Tabletop, launched the Kickstarter campaign for Corps of Discovery: A Game Set in the World of Manifest Destiny, an all-new cooperative tabletop game based on the groundbreaking comic book series from Skybound & Image Comics. The campaign is live on Kickstarter now. From the superstar team of creator/writer Chris Dingess (Marvel’s Agent Carter, TV’s Doom Patrol), artist Matthew Roberts (Universal Monsters: Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives!), colorist Owen Gieni (Rat Queens), and letterer Pat Brosseau (Creepshow), Manifest Destiny follows Captain Meriwether Lewis and Captain William Clark, as they set out on an expedition in 1804 to explore the uncharted American frontier. When the series debuted with issue #1 on November 13, 2013, Chris Dingess and Matthew Roberts began to tell an action-adventure epic of a new monster birthed right in the heart of America. Manifest Destiny brought Lewis and Clark’s expedition to its conclusion after a historic nearly decade-long run, and now fans can continue to celebrate the series that created an alternate history of the United States. “We have a long history of expanding our IPs through games and we’re thrilled to be partnering with Off the Page Games for this title,” said Garima Sharma, VP of Licensing & Partnerships at Skybound. “Corps of Discovery gives players a chance to dive into an immersive world of strategy, with stunning art, endless replayability, and an altogether great board game experience from a stellar design team.” Designed by Sen-Foong Lim and Jay Cormier (MIND MGMT, Belfort, Junk Art), and with illustrations by Roberts, this cooperative game for 1 to 4 players tasks you with surviving the challenges of the untamed wilderness, gathering resources from the terrain and completing each chapter’s objective. Will you join the Corps of Discovery on their mission? Lewis and Clark led the Corps of Discovery Expedition to journey across the country, exploring the land…and killing demonic monsters. No one’s sure where these monsters came from, but you’ll need the help of the nations already living there to succeed. Use logic and deduction to acquire the resources you need to solve daily challenges. The Corps of Discovery: A Game Set in the World of Manifest Destiny campaign is live now on Kickstarter, with stretch goals and campaign-exclusive products to be announced through the close of the campaign, on Thursday, May 16, 2024. |
| Select Praise for Manifest Destiny: “This is the kind of trailblazing you won’t want to miss.”- Newsarama “Manifest Destiny presents an alternate history of the United States, filled with horrific creatures, plant zombies, and fantastic art and writing.” – CBR “A desperate tale of escape by a desperate and disparate band of characters. Elements of American folklore abound in this tale of frontier exploration.”- Major Spoilers “An intriguing read, opting for slow-boil storytelling as opposed to back-to-back terror. It works greatly in its favor and makes for a great read.” – Bleeding Cool “This whole series and everything about it, every component is magnificent.” – PopCultHQ “A concept and execution that stands up against any of the dozens of dynamic creator-owned works running today” – Multiversity Comics “That’s the fun of Manifest Destiny. You never know what’s lurking just ahead in this great journey of exploration and adventure. More often than not, it’s pure, unbridled terror with monsters the likes of which haven’t been seen on this continent in a few hundred years.” – Horror DNA “For history fans who love adventure stories, Dingess and Roberts nail this.” – Comic Crusaders “A stellar comic” – ComicBook.com |
