At the beginning of the Skyrim board game, players will have the option to choose between distinct character types such as the feline Khajiit or north-dwelling Nords, as well as the kind of equipment, skills and spells they’ll wield. As players progress through the game, they’ll be able to retain their existing character elements and use them for their next session, thanks to the tabletop title’s saving system. Player choices will also be accounted for, as “the face of Skyrim can change during the game”, meaning that their later experiences will be affected by their previous actions.
In the co-op game, players become a band of heroes embarking on a series of quests across the region of Skyrim, alongside completing any side quests they might discover along the way. Players can expect to fight the likes of dragons, daedra - or demons - and trolls as they explore underground ruins, abandoned tombs and Dwemer cities to complete quests or discover treasures. Throughout the game, players will need to make sure to protect the local holds from monsters and other threats, balancing adventuring with their duties as a hero.
