Nutters! 🥜 There will be no ‘Sudden Death’ when the time runs out on the Kickstarter campaign for Worms: The Board Game, having achieved its funding goal faster than a Jet Pack wearing Worm!

Worms: The Board Game is a hilarious game of strategy, chance and exploding Sheep! Bring the nostalgia, fun and utter mayhem of Worms to life- right on your tabletop.




A lot has happened since the Kickstarter launched, including lots of daily reveals, information about features and surprise additions and here’s a brief overview of some of them!

But before we get into this, we want to showcase our latest addition to Worms: The Board Game... Professor Worminkle from Worms 4: Mayhem!


Alongside this daily reveal, here's more information around Worms: The Board games newest features:




A highly requested item from the community during the Kickstarter as been on incorporating the familiar speech and sound effects from in-game. Well, full details are still be confirmed, but there are now plans to include a range of audio to really bring your tabletop experience to life! To put everything in the same place, plans also include a game-style countdown timer for those who want to play with some added pressure, and the hilarity of watching your opponents make silly mistakes as the seconds tick down...

Sentry Guns are a little more complex than most other weapons, so come with the card shown below, a reference card, and tokens for deploying on the map. Represented by a token, Sentry Guns count as a 'Thing' (for the purposes of filling a hex) and are immovable once deployed. If they take damage, they are destroyed.

How do they work? Sentry Gun tokens are marked with an arrow, so when deployed they face out of one side of their hex (their facing cannot be changed). If a Thing moves to a hex within the Sentry Gun's line of fire, it is damaged.

This is an excellent way of restricting your opponent's ability to position well as they must deal with the Sentry Gun first, or restrict their (safe) movement in the meantime. Just beware that the Sentry Gun doesn't discriminate between friendly and enemy Worms entering its line of fire, so make sure to have a plan before you deploy one!


For those of you who don't know, these are rare and powerful weapons that can be used to press home an advantage or turn the tide if your team of Worms are in a desperate situation. They can have a big impact if used well, but expect plenty of laughter from your opponents if you make a bad call and something backfires!

These weapon cards have a yellow header so you instantly know you've picked up something special from a crate...now make sure to keep a straight face.

There are a good range of these cards, from today's Buffalo of Lies to the Concrete Donkey (Hee-Haw!), the Holy Hand Grenade (Halleluja!), the Priceless Vase...and more. There are enough in the deck to give you plenty of variety, but few enough that you'll get a thrill when you draw one.


The team want to extend their thanks to the 4,500+ backers to the project so far and are so excited the most iconic of wriggly critters will battle away on tables around the world.

The plan is for pledges to be delivered in August 2024 - however, the exact timing may change and there is always the potential for delay with any products produced in China. Backers will be kept updated through the process.

Today we also have a special Q&A, with the man behind the miniatures of Worms: The Board Game: Luigi Terzi!


Hi Luigi! Tell us a little about your background in sculpting.
I started sculpting 10 years ago, but first started out in graphic design. After working with legendary game designer Alessio Cavatore I asked if he knew anyone searching for an illustrator and a sculptor, and that’s how I came to meet Ronnie and his team at Mantic Games!

Through the years I have done work for Warlord Games, Modiphius, Fantasy Flight, Steamforged, Wyrd, & Wizkids. I have also sculpted large-scale models for companies like Sideshow and Figurama.

How did you feel when asked to work on Worms?
My very first thought was ‘that’s going to be a lot of fun’, and it has been!

Are you a fan of the Worms video games?
I played them a lot before raising a family. Back then I also loved Wipeout, Tekken and Colin McRae Rally – so maybe you can guess my age from this list!

What are the challenges with sculpting these characters?
The most difficult thing is making the Worms look like they have paused mid-action! They have to be very expressive. It’s all about combining fun facial expressions with a cool pose that works. Finally, they need to have enough variety so they will look great together on the tabletop.

What was the best thing about this project?
Having the chance to do something totally different from anything else I’ve worked on! Working with different design styles really helps to keep my creativity fresh.

Do you have a favourite worm that you’ve sculpted for the campaign?
Do I have to pick just one? I have a few, my top 3 are: the worm with a sheep, the worm with a vase, and (*spoiler alert*) at first place is the disco worm – he looks fantastic!



Thanks Luigi – it’s been a pleasure chatting with you, and thanks for all your work on Worms: The Board Game!
