Powers Comes to the Tabletop Courtesy of IDW Games

Powers_1_CoverIDW Games is on the case! Get ready to hunt down the city’s super-powered serial killers in a new line of tabletop games based off the Powers graphic novels. Powers, by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming, is an Eisner Award winning super hero noir series that was recently adapted for television by PlayStation network. The Powers game line will include card, board, and dice games each focusing on different situations and characters from the series.

The first Powers game will be a small box game where players will take on the role of investigators hunting down super-powered criminals, or “powers.” In the game, players will be working together to track and hopefully capture a player-controlled super villain before time runs out. The game will feature an array of criminals pulled from the comic series, each with their own special abilities and rules. Throughout the course of play, players will not only have to determine how to catch their prey, but who exactly they’re hunting before they escape into the night for good.

This is the latest comic turned game by IDW Games. The company will be releasing games based on Chew this year.

Look for Powers: The Card Game to hit stores in early 2016.
