Zenescope Announces Wonderland Board Game

There have probably been times when you're reading Grimm Fairy Tales and you think to yourself, why would Alice do that? I wouldn't go there. I would do something else. Well, now you can make those decisions in the brand new Wonderland board game.

The game was designed by Brian David-Marshall and Matthew Wang, both of whom worked on The Walking Dead board game and the Twilight board game. Art design will be handled by Christopher Cote and is planed for a late summer 2012 release.

Players can choose to play from a list of characters including Calie, the Mad Hatter, Brandon, the Queen of Hearts, the White Knight and a number of others. The board game features two separate realms, Earth and Wonderland. The realms are depicted on the double-sided board and switching between them adds a unique twist and an added level of complexity to the game that few other board games offer. Players compete against each other, each player trying to complete goals specific goals while the other players try to foil their attempts at progressing.

“Fans of the comic series and anything Wonderland related are going to love this game. We’re so happy that we were able to expand on our Wonderland and Grimm Fairy Tales universe and branch out into the world of board games at the same time,” states Zenescope president Joe Brusha. “Zenescope and To Be Continued have designed a very unique and fun game that will not only appeal to Wonderland fans but also to anyone who loves board games.”
