Description

Step into the amazing world of Simon Stålenhag's Tales From the Loop! In Tales From the Loop: The Board Game, you take the roles of kids who investigate the mysteries originating from the Loop, a huge underground science facility with strange effects on the suburban landscapes around it - just make sure you're home in time for dinner!

Tales From the Loop: The Boardgame is a cooperative experience where all the players work together towards a common goal. There are six unique Scenarios in the core box, with each featuring a specific property of the Loop. There is also the Mystery Islands mode where you get to discover your own mysteries and adventures!

The game features original art by Simon Stålenhag as well as expertly crafted, pre-assembled, unpainted miniatures of the Machines featured in the artwork.
