New Conan games coming in 2019 from Shinobi 7

The cult-favorite barbarian, Conan, is going to receive more tabletop-gaming love over the next year or so. Shinobi 7, a publisher who specializes in pop-culture IPs, announced that they required the rights to Conan for two upcoming games. The first of which, a miniatures game, will hit Kickstarter in early 2019 while the second, a competitive card game, will head straight to retail at an unspecified time that same year.  As quoted from the press release:

"As a lifetime fan of Conan, I am honored to take part in the ongoing legacy of Robert E. Howard’s phenomenal body of work," says Jason DeAngelis, publisher of Shinobi 7. "Our team of game industry veterans is developing a line of games that’s sure to delight and surprise fans of Conan and Robert E. Howard."

It's an interesting time to be a fan of Conan, especially after the well-received Monolith-produced miniatures adventure game and it's expansion. I'm very curious how Shinobi 7 will differentiate their miniatures game from it's already well-known predecessor. I'm also curious if the competitive card game will capture the same sort of pulp adventure that is synonymous with the brand, given that it's described as involving characters within that world fighting for glory. Unfortunately, details beyond that are scarce, so only time will tell. If you are interested in learning more about either Conan-related releases, be sure to keep an eye on Shinobi 7's website as they say that further details, components, and release dates will be on their way.
