2001 A Space Odyssey: The Board Game

 


 

I've loved 2001: A Space Odyssey ever since I saw it on a giant cinema screen at a 1980s science fiction convention. (Yes, it was a giant screen, larger than most you'll find in today's multiplex theaters). The Smithsonian's National Air And Space Museum recreated Dr Dave Bowman's neoclassical bedroom a few years ago, and I got to walk through it. Thankfully, the surreal experience didn't induce rapid aging!

Here's all the info from Maestro Media:

Inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s legendary sci-fi film, Maestro Media has unveiled their latest title: 2001: A Space Odyssey | The Board Game. Designed by acclaimed game designer Phil Walker-Harding, this thrilling one-versus-many strategy game puts players aboard the ill-fated Discovery One, where the ship’s onboard AI, HAL, has turned against the crew.

 

 


 


Game Features Include:

  • Unique Crewmember Abilities – Each crewmember has a special power to help them outsmart HAL and stay one step ahead. Use your unique abilities to dodge the computer’s tricks and stay alive!

  • Heart-Pounding Action and Strategy – HAL isn’t just sitting back—he’ll take multiple turns, causing chaos and sabotaging vital systems. Every move counts in this high-stakes game of survival, where every decision could mean the difference between life and death!

  • Multiple Victory Conditions – HAL wins if three systems are terminated or if Life Support goes down. However, the crewmembers can win by completing three logic sequences in the HAL Core. It’s a race against time—and HAL’s relentless sabotage!
