Maddie recommends some fantastic superhero RPGsįour decades after the Judge Dredd board game made its debut, a new edition has been revealed by Rebellion Unplugged, the tabletop studio founded by Rebellion - owner of Judge Dredd comic maker 2000 AD - which takes the publishing reins from Games Workshop.
Rather than working together, the judges were in competition, allowing players to sabotage their opponents’ chances by playing cards, with the aim of capturing the highest-scoring combination of crime and perp cards by the end of the game. In order to bring the wrongdoers to justice, players could use action cards and the aid of judges - including Dredd, Sweeney and Hershey - in tandem with dice rolls to determine whether they succeeded in their arrest or not, with defeated judges having to heal up in the ICU. The selection of criminals was randomised by a deck of cards, with players moving between Mega-City One locations on the main board before attempting to crack a half-dozen available crimes - ranging from murder to smashing robots and selling old comics - by taking down perps ranging from the Angel Gang to Judge Death.
Games Workshop’s classic Judge Dredd board game is getting a remake - and it’s out very soon.įirst released in 1982, Judge Dredd: The Game of Crime Fighting in Mega-City One was designed by Sir Ian Livingstone - co-founder of the Warhammer maker - and put players in the jackboots of Dredd’s fellow judges as they patrolled the streets of Mega-City One in search of perps to arrest.
