Please consider that many game mechanics translate poorly from videogame to tabletop (and vice versa).

I suggest these simplifications: - units deal the same amount of damage even if they are at low health (calculating damage for each unit manually is a nightmare) - use a hex grid. You can re-use Catan hexes and movement is smoother - simplify the tech tree

Midjiwan agreed that if there was to ever be a tabletop version of Polytopia, it would have to have little mechanical resemblance to the video game version for that reason.

Commenting because this deserved more views and engagement. Let us know if you'll be selling sets!

Technically, selling would probably fall under "copyright infringement".

😭. Well we need an official board. This product added to the awesome selection of polytopia plushies would be welcome.

Right now, Midjiwan doesn't want to sell or endorse a Polytopia board game.

And if he did, it'd most likely not resemble the video game much....intentionally.

You guys aren’t going to go full Nintendo and send a cease and desist for making a one off fan board though right?

Right?

Well, we can say that we don't endorse it and prevent sales.

Feel free to design and make your own stuff to play with friends, but don't make money on it without scrubbing off all the Polytopia first.
