    It has been a long time coming, but it is almost here. Launching on Kickstarter June 02, 2021. "Bedlam The Board Game" Get more info at talesofbedlam.com   Stoke the fires of your imagination and dive into the realm of Bedlam, the board game. Inspired by folklore and fairy tales from around the world you’ll begin by choosing which character you’ll use to build your kingdom. With 6 unique player tokens, you can always find your way home with Hansel and Gretel, inspire dread with Death himself, or even ride the Bricklebrit Donkey to riches and glory. With versatile tiles and no board, the world of Bedlam is only limited by your imagination (and table space) and ensures a unique experience each time you play! Your adventure to 10 points starts around the lonely Bedlam desert. Will you brave a thirsty land in search of glory or hunker down and patrol your border with an ever-growing army? Grow your magical empire in Bedlam with Cities along with Mines to collect gold and Barracks to amass armies. Expand your borders by using gold to purchase lush forest Land, enchanted Castles, or the coveted Graveyard to bring your fallen soldiers back to life. Move cards will enable you to relocate your coveted resources to where they are most useful, Action cards imbue you with abilities to devastate your opponents, and Instant cards can be played at any time to change your destiny in Bedlam. Build up your gold stash with Hans in Luck, but beware the wily Grinder who’s always on the lookout for an easy mark. Steal your way to victory with the Thief but don’t be caught by the ever-watchful Sheriff of Bedlam. Rain down fire on your opponent’s unsuspecting armies with the mighty Dragon who can only be stopped by….the Devil’s Grandma??? When you get into a bind unleash the mighty Earthmover and rearrange the terrain to become the ultimate ruler of Bedlam! While Bedlam is easy to learn, with the ever-changing layout you’ll find it hard to master, making it a game you and your friends will come back to again and again which will result in everyone living “Happily Ever After”.
