Collection: Film, TV and Computer Game Licensed games

All games need a theme. 

At their heart, every game is abstract. A lot of the time when you see games in the prototype stage they are a series of rules and concepts and pieces, in search of the glue that will hold them together and give them their wider appeal. And you can't get much wider an appeal than today's blockbuster multi media licenses. 

Sometimes the best shows cry out for a boardgame - or roleplaying game - so you can continue the action of your favourite characters or make up new ones.

Licensing a property isn't small. These days you need to make sure your game is going to be a hit with the fans, as well as a hit with the cogniscenti - the alpha gamers. Then we cherry pick our favourite recommendations for this boardgame and rolelaying game selection. 

And sometimes licensing goes the other way. Streaming platforms are hungry beasts always in the market for new ideas. You'll soon be able to see Fria Ligan's Tales From The Loop make the leap from RPG to TV on Amazon and Magic the Gathering on Netflix.

Which is great - the more people who find us and the hobby in general, the more new friends we have to play with.
