Originally launched in 2003, EVE Onlineย is a popular free-to-play space MMORPG. The game features players competing for resources and power in a single universe marked by massive space battles. Players belong to different corporations which wage for influence and power, often with dramatic results. While the game is free-to-play, players can invest real world money into starships and certain skills (although most players opt to instead pursue in-game activities that result in large amounts of profits.) Of course, when ships are destroyed, their value can be estimated in real time money. One massive 21-hour battle resulted in the loss of over $300,000 in spaceships, with over 7,500 different players involved during the battle.ย 

The prelaunch page for the EVE Online board game’s Kickstarter is now live. The Kickstarter campaign will kick off in Q4 2023, with plans to demo the game at EVE Fanfest in September in Reykjavik, Iceland.ย
