The juxtaposition of adorable aesthetics and the delightfully grim, cult-like brutality of 'Cult of the Lamb' has earned it a massive following. Now, that same dark charm is making the jump to your tabletop via Kickstarter.

The board game developer Paper Fort Games kicked off their crowdfunding campaign on the 21st. It’s designed for up to four players, though you might want to clear your schedule—a single session is said to clock in anywhere from 180 to 240 minutes. It's quite the commitment.

Participants will find themselves trekking through dungeons across the Land of the Old Faith, squaring off against monsters and bishops alike. Successfully completing these 'crusades' nets you precious loot and resources. Of course, bigger rewards demand higher risks; once the dust of battle settles, the real work begins as you manage resources and reorganize your cult to ensure the organization keeps growing.

Managing your cult is where things get interesting. Much like the original game, you’ll need to assign followers to build structures, preach, or carry out rituals. As a leader, it’s your job to keep faith levels stable while fending off threats like starvation and disease. Should a traitor start plotting a coup, you can always deal with the situation by locking them away or, quite simply, offering the traitor as a sacrifice.

Naturally, the game throws all sorts of curveballs your way—betrayals, hygiene crises, and other tests of leadership that force you to balance internal stability with external goals. The player who manages this delicate act best and walks away with the most victory points is crowned the winner.

The way Paper Fort Games has translated the original mechanics into a tabletop experience, combined with an impressive array of components, has clearly resonated with fans. In just two days, the campaign has smashed its original goal of £18,950 (approx. 37 million KRW), reaching a staggering £629,078 (approx. 1.236 billion KRW) in backing. The crowdfunding campaign is set to run until August 15th.

For those interested, the Cult of the Lamb board game will support English, French, Spanish, and German, with international shipping, including to Korea, currently available.
