About the game

What is Apex Legends: The Board Game?

Apex Legends: The Board Game is a highly competitive miniatures game, in which opposing squads of Legends—warriors with exceptional combat skills and abilities—airdrop onto a gradually shrinking battleground to compete for fame and glory in a series of matches. The players make use of a wide variety of weapons and actions at their disposal to work together with the squadmates and fulfill the ultimate goal of eliminating their opponents and being the last ones standing. Taking place on the Kings Canyon map, the core experience focuses on the final zone, where the ultimate confrontation unfolds. Each player assumes the role of a unique Legend. The players activate team by team, trying to outmaneuver enemies in the heat of battle and recreate the unpredictable, unforgettable moments known from the source game—securing key positions on the map, snatching valuable loot seconds before an opponent, or diving behind cover or shielding a teammate just in time to save them from oblivion… Every choice, every move, and every piece of ammo matters! —description from the publisher
