Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid is a board game released in 2026 for 2–4 players, 60–90 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Eric M. Lang and Ken Gruhl and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Tile Placement, and Action Drafting.
Inspired by the hit mobile game Clash of Clans, the board game Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid allows players to build defenses, deploy units, and raid friends' bases in a fast-paced, highly strategic battle that brings the thrill of the mobile game to the tabletop. Build up your village, unleash your troops, and smash your rivals in a race for dominance! No base is safe. No clan goes unchallenged. Let the raids begin! Raiding is the goal of this combat, engine-building game. Send your armies, roll the dice, and watch their cities burn. Destroying your opponents structures earns you points, resources, and bonuses. The end of the game is triggered when at least 1 player has 40 or more stars. The player with the most victory stars (points), wins! —description from the publisher
