No, not a board game, as we already have a thread on this. Monolith has also acquired the rights to do a Conan RPG. There is a 50-page quickstart version you can download at the link below: monolithedition.com/en/portfolio/conan-the-hyborian-age-the-roleplaying-game/The game uses four stats: 1. Might 2. Edge 3. Grit 4. Wits The stats are done as "step dice" so you get a dice type for each stat and (I think) those could improve as the characters advance. You roll the stat dice to attempt something, also you roll a "flex die" that doesn't add to the regular role but instead can cause additional effects to happen to the action attempted. Seems to be a short skill list, which to me is a bonus since too many RPGs seem to have way too many useless skills. In the free quickstart PDF is a neat Hyboria map. They have this for sale already, and at $15 seems like a good price. conan.com/product/hyborian-age-poster/I honestly haven't fully read the rules yet. Looks well made and I assume it will be compatible with the board game in some way.

That is the same official poster that has been available on Conan.com for some time now. Started out at $19.99, but they lowered it to $14.99 within the first month or two. I have heard it is rather nice quality, thicker paper.

This looks pretty cool. Will follow along.
The poster is the one I ordered, made its way all the way to Germany, and then got sent back again.
I didn't pick it up from customs - never had an email or any communication, and tracking just said it was unavailable. First email I got was that it had been sent back.
Very annoying.
My buddy who posted it is gonna send it again though. *Still* looking forward to it!

As mentioned in the latest newsletter and at SDCC 2024 the Kickstarter for this is starting up autumn this year. I'll just repost the link Finarvyn posted above for convenience, now updated with a sign up for the kickstarter:
Where is Boot when you need him? Be really interested in his take on these quickstart rules.
