I mean, isn’t it less work in the long run anyways? Instead of producing a bunch of games with various history, fantasy and sci-fi settings slapped on top that never really achieve any sort of depth, why not just make one really thought out original setting? Having one large setting is a really good way to increase brand recognition, and it makes your products more visually coherent while on the shelf next to each other.

I’d love to see more board game companies take on this idea in some form or another, even if only by using the same setting in each of their games. I am also a huge fan of cross-media applications of a single setting: if I like your video game I will definitely buy your action figures, watch your anime, read your comic book and eat your breakfast cereal. If nothing else, that customer is sure to know someone who would be interested in using the code. That is marketing of the sort that I can’t hear anyone complaining about, as it really ads value to the end customer. It’s a clever marketing trick, a great way to drive interested parties to your other products.

It also helps that each figure you buy for the board game comes with a code to get a free copy of that figure for your account in the online version of the game. Krosmaster has been gaining a lot of popularity recently- I think this is because of its superb pre-painted figures, its equally wonderful rulebook and connection to a hot intellectual property. Krosmaster started as a mini-game that players of both their MMOs could play together or launch by itself and it was branded as a shared expansion between the two MMOs. All of Ankama’s games share a setting called The World of Twelve, though each game is set during a different time period in the world’s history. The creator of Krosmaster, Ankama, is a French company who is more famously known for its MMOs: Dofus and Wakfu, as well as the anime based on them. Krosmaster Arena is the board game version of an online game of the same name, a tactics board game where you use colorful warriors to eliminate your opponent.
