Planet of the Apes

IDW Games and Twentieth Century Fox have come together to produce a board game based on the original Planet of the Apes movie, which is poised to celebrate its 50th Anniversary next April. This co-operative game is scheduled to release in October. The board game Planet of the Apes was designed by Richard Launius (Arkham Horror), and offers a twist on the co-op genre. In this game, the players are different parts of Colonel George Taylor’s psyche. They must work together as Taylor faces his ape adversaries, the dangerous environment of the apes’ planet, and the psychological horrors of his experiences there.
