Stardew Valley boardgame | PC Gamer

Many video games have been adapted into board games. Darksiders has a co-op exploration game where you brawl against a horde of monsters. Divinity: Original Sin has a story-led RPG. Dark Souls has a fiendishly challenging dungeon crawl (no surprise there). The list goes on: XCOM, The Witcher, Gears of War, and Doom all have board game adaptations, and let’s not forget everyone’s favourite, Fallout Monopoly. 

These combat-heavy, monster riddled worlds lend themselves perfectly for action-packed board game adaptations, but two graphic design students, Sanna Vonk and Mikail Yucel from the Netherlands, wanted to focus on a different kind of experience for their course’s project. After both enjoying the calm, relaxing world of Stardew Valley, they decided to bring the wholesome farming sim to the tabletop.

“The project task was to create a board game about whatever you wanted,” Sanna says. “Since we both love videogames, we figured that making the board game about a videogame we both played would be the most fun and logical. When we got the assignment it didn’t take very long to come to the conclusion to make it about Stardew Valley.”
