The game “Aridnik” from the board game studio boardova was released in January 2024, inspired by the eponymous Ukrainian comic published by UA Comix. The game's plot immerses players in Hutsul legends and everyday life.
Inspired by stories about Hutsul spirits, the developers created a game world where players become shepherds leading their flocks of sheep through mountain rivers, forests, and meadows, encountering along the way the spirits of the majestic Carpathians: Aridnik, God, Ale, Wolf, and others.
Inside the box – over 100 large cards with bright illustrations by artist Lyudmyla Samus, wooden figures of spirits and shepherds that appear on the game board. The players' goal for victory is to collect victory points – sheep.
In January 2025, the publishers announced the international release of the game “Aridnik” on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, which helps artists gain global support for their project.
In addition to the updated edition of the game in Ukrainian and a full English adaptation, the publishers announced three separate expansions for the board game: “Winter,” “Places,” and “Holidays.” Each expansion will add a new unique experience to the gameplay mechanics, expanding the gaming possibilities.
Users from any corner of the world will be able to support the release of the game and purchase the base edition and any expansions.
The project launch is announced for the 1st quarter of 2025.
