“Depending on the scenario, they could then attack each other. “Players can play as TLOU Ellie affiliated with the Fireflies, TLOU II Ellie affiliated with Jackson and TLOU III Ellie affiliated with no Faction, all at the same time,” Carlson told Dicebreaker.

On top of characters and places from the existing video games by developer Naughty Dog, the board game includes a set based on Carlson’s own concept for an as-yet unannounced The Last of Us 3 that includes an older Ellie, an original character called Camila, a new type of infected known as the Spreader and a map board depicting a New Mexican settlement. Each player controls their character, allies and two or more enemies. The playable characters can also be aided by allies from each faction who appear as additional figures on the board. In place of artwork from the video games, the board game features gorgeous original illustrations of the characters and locations by Carlson. Each half-hour to 90-minute scenario has a different map layout, unique rules and win conditions.Įach character has an alliance with one of the factions found in the post-apocalyptic world, from the Fireflies and residents of Jackson to the Seraphites (also known as Scars) and WLF encountered in Part II, allowing the same characters to appear in multiple forms. Rather than taking place during a fixed point in the video games’ multi-year timeline, the fan-made board game spans the entire series, including both competitive and cooperative scenarios. Walt Carlson’s The Last of Us Board Game puts up to four players in the boots of Ellie, Joel, Riley, Dina, Abby, Lev and other main characters from The Last of Us, its standalone expansion Left Behind and 2020 sequel The Last of Us Part II.

If you can’t wait for The Last of Us’ official board game to release, a fan has created a seriously impressive tabletop adaptation of the hit survival-horror video games.
