Battle Bosses is a 2-6 player game with 6 epic Bosses, giant beings that utilize dice to gain Energy and Crystal resources. Through these resources, Bosses unleash devastating moves, spawn unique Minions to send into battle, and play cards to gain tactical advantage. For a limited time, the pledge manager makes available all of the exclusives, add-ons, and pledge tiers from our Kickstarter.

Hey everyone!
Welcome to our first July 2020 update! I hope everyone is staying safe. We are working every week to get you closer to having Battle Bosses on your doorstep. We are excited because this week we have officially begun cutting tooling for the game!
Thank you for your continued patience with the development of Battle Bosses, we apologize for the delays of the last year with tariffs and COVID, but we are excited to get moving towards full production!
We also wanted to share final Neutral Monsters! These are all the different monsters that you will be able to fight to unlock team bonuses and pets that your team can control in Arena mode. All of these, along with the other materials needed to play Arena mode, come with the Deluxe version of the game.
Updated 3v3 Map and First looks at 2v2 map!

Hello backers! Hope you all are doing well during these stressful times. As production continues, and we finalize design files with factories, we want to spotlight the Arena map board! Previously, during our prototype and play testing phase, it looked like this:
OLD ARENA MAP
This was originally designed using the original map tiles for the game. Laid out in a way that you may be able to build that map using 6 boxes worth of tiles. But now, at 34"x34", we have a beautiful map with icons that correlate to Arena Mode as well as keys for quick references while you play.
FINAL ARENA MAP
And showing you for the first time, the double sided Arena mode board will feature the 2v2 map. Allowing for 4 players to form teams and jump into the void claiming Neutral camps and fighting to defeat the other teams base.
2v2 ARENA MAP
As a reminder this double sided map will be included with every Premium Edition of battle bosses! And the 3v3 version is available as a Neoprene mat add on!
Next week we will have an update that shows off the final Neutral Camp monsters and claimable Pets! We are also currently waiting on the next batch of sculpt samples after our last tweaks with their engineers.
Small Update to Boss Descriptions

Hi Everyone,
We wanted to make sure to get a small update out this week. As we finalize packaging we have updated each of the bosses brief, on box, descriptions. And wanted to share them.
As far as production updates go. This week we are finalizing all of the Arena Mode Maps for production. (Will post images next wek) And plan to be handing the factory final designs end of next week.
CAPTAIN BOAT:
The Scourge of the 13 depths. Part Captain! Part Boat! With a cannon for an arm and an eye patch for a sail, no one is safe while the Captain is out at sea. Captain Boat loves nothing more than treasure. He hoards crystals to pay off his mercenary crew while traversing the board to uncover Chest tokens buried by his opponents.
CTHULHU:
Cthulhu has been plotting for millennia from the Void, awaiting an opportunity to escape to the corporeal world and conquer the minds of those who dare to oppose him. Cthulhu calls on his followers from throughout the ages, commanding them as a deathless zombie army. Using powerful magic effects to control the early game, Cthulhu builds up resources to overwhelm his foes in the long term.
ALANA:
Alana, Empress of the Fae Wilds excels in controlling the battlefield by limiting minion movement through conjuring magical forests. Using her scepter, crown, and loyal fairy warriors to take down enemy bosses, she nimbly dodges advancing enemies while impeding their movement. Alana fiercely protects her people and lands from all who dare to threaten them.
DOC SPLOSION:
Plotting from her secret island lair, Doc Splosion and her brain bot minions are always looking for a target for her next heist. Her signature growth serum allows her to grow to the size of a skyscraper to overpower enemies. Doc Splosion wields a vast array of useful gadgets that give her access to a variety of helpful effects while building up to explosive combos that devastate opponents.
GRAKTHAR:
Its just another day of pillaging for Grakthar, a boss who never turns down a challenge to get in a good old fashioned brawl, looking to get up close and personal with enemy bosses and unleashing powerful melee attacks. His (mostly) loyal and delicious goblin gang are off causing havoc, stealing resources, and attacking your enemies' good-for-nothing minions. For Grakthar, there is no problem a sturdy machete can't solve.
RYU:
Ryu, Dragon Goddess commands an army of highly trained Samurai, using her keen sense of strategy to lay waste to enemies through clever tactics and careful positioning of troops. She spreads her Samurai throughout the battlefield, controlling as much territory as possible, growing stronger with each tile she claims.
NIGHTMARE:
The Nightmare crawls from the void, instilling fear and madness in the minds of all who witness its arrival. Using discard abilities to erase the minds of enemies while sending shadows to posses their minions, slowly turning their army, or even their own abilities, against them.
