Board game company Mastro Media is collaborating with Oni Press to produce board games based on Oni comics titles, with three titles revealed in the initial announcement. The games will be developed in close coordination with the creators of each title. The titles announced are:
The Sixth Gun, the Eisner Award-nominated series by Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt, is set in 1866 with a rebel general searching for an ancient weapon with occult power being held by a young woman seeking to master its secrets.
Dwellings, by Jay Stephens, is a horror comic set in a small town named Elwich, an oasis of small-town perfection, where the schools overflow with cheery-eyed children, lovingly adorned homes line the historic boulevards… and only the crows can see the rot beneath the surface.
Jill and the Killers, a nerve-rattling murder mystery-within-a-mystery by Olivia Cuartero-Briggs and Roberta Ingranata, follows a teenager whose mother has disappeared, and who discovers a true-crime subscription game that seems to have clues only someone close would know.
These are not Maestro’s first comic licenses; Maestro announced a game based on The Smurfs last year (see “’The Smurfs: Hidden Village’ Game“), which is now planned for trade release in November.
