Highlights
Stardew Valley fans who missed out on the board game will have a chance to pre-order the third printing, which has been eagerly awaited due to past sell-outs.
The board game provides a comparable experience to the original, enabling players to partake in farming, mining, and interacting with townspeople. It accommodates up to four players.
However, enthusiasts should bear in mind that the game will not be available for shipping until October. Moreover, it can only be shipped to the USA through the official shop, although select distributors in other countries are accepting pre-orders.
Fans of the popular indie game Stardew Valley who were unable to purchase the board game will soon have another opportunity. The highly anticipated third printing of the game is eagerly awaited by fans, as it has previously sold out.
Stardew Valley: The Board Game aims to offer players a similar experience to the original game but in a tabletop format. This cooperative game allows up to four players and presents a certain level of challenge. Fans of the original game can expect to engage in familiar activities in the board game version, such as tending to animals, managing a farm, exploring the nearby mine, and interacting with townspeople.
Stardew Valley: The Board Game, released in 2021, has been consistently sold out, making it difficult for both new players and long-time fans to get their hands on it. Limited prints and high demand have resulted in a short window for fans to make their purchase. However, developer Eric Barone has announced on Twitter that a reprint will be available for pre-order on September 5 through the official Stardew Valley shop. The game will cost $50 USD and will be shipped for free.
Despite the excitement among fans, there are a few things to consider. The game will not be shipped until October, so purchasers should keep this in mind. Moreover, the board game version of Stardew Valley can only be shipped to the USA if bought from the official shop. The official website mentions that select distributors in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the EU, and the UK will be accepting pre-orders. International fans are advised to consider this option, as resold copies are likely to be priced much higher.
Stardew Valley fans have exciting things to look forward to as developer ConcernedApe drops hints about the upcoming update. Although the 1.6 update may not introduce as many new features as previous updates, fans are eagerly anticipating improved modding support and fresh dialogue and content. ConcernedApe has not yet announced a release date for the update, so it's possible that fans will try out the board game before 1.6 is released. Despite being released several years ago, Stardew Valley remains a popular choice with players thanks to its extensive modding options and endless replayability. Hopefully, fans who haven't had the chance to try the board game will soon have an opportunity to purchase a copy for themselves.
