The Gears of War franchise has a new addition, and a new way of engaging the Locust horde in combat. Gears of War: The Board Game is expected to be out sometime this year, and was designed by Corey Konieczka, who helped create the Starcraft board games.
The board game allows you to play with up to three other friends, and recreates classic battles from Gears of War and Gears of War 2.
