Kick Ass: The Board Game
Game Information
CMON has announced that Kick Ass: The Board Game will be released straight to retail, instead of the originally planned Kickstarter.
This superhero business can be tricky! Sometimes, even the best laid plans can be upended by a natural disaster, an evil villain’s plot, or even simple timing.
Players will be able to assume the roles of characters from the comic book series by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. like Kick Ass, Hit Girl, and Big Daddy. They’ll battle to save New York City from a supervillain’s plot, while balancing the tricky business of their messy personal lives. Featuring brand new art inspired by its comic book origins, engaging game play, and highly detailed miniatures representing the characters from the stories, Kick Ass: The Board Game will inspire players to put on the mask and fight to save the city.
That said, if this game was coming out in 2011 or even 2013, I think it could have gotten a fair amount of mainstream interest due to the movie. But it is 2018, and the zeitgeist has moved on.

Agreed. Not really my generation but I have a hard time believing there's a lot of nostalgia for Kick-Ass.
