Ashes of Creation will be a franchise.[1]

Q: Given that you said that these story arcs are a module that get placed into the world, do you plan to sell or release your Ashes of Creation themed TTRPG module for other DMs to use?
A: There's a lot of things I want to do when we launch Ashes. One is, of course, a module that's set in the world of Ashes of Creation. Yes, I would love to release a throwback to the original campaign. It's very different from where Ashes of Creation is today. But I think it's- there's a lot of overlap between gamers who enjoy tabletop RPGs and MMOs and one of the benefits of telling a story through different venues, mediums and systems is that you reach a broader audience, because not all of us like the same things; and I think the story of Ashes is a rich one. And because of that, telling it through multiple mediums is definitely a desire. From a board game perspective, I'm a huge board game nerd. I love playing board games. A lot of us at the office do. I would love to tell the story of Ashes through a board game as well. I would love to tell the story of Ashes through a RTS. I would love to tell it through film and television. There's a lot of ways I think that the story can be told. It doesn't all have to be focused around the return to Verra. There's a lot of different opportunities across the many thousands of years of timeline that Verra's existed that we can tell the story and even other aspects of that.[3]Steven Sharif

Ashes of Creation board game

An Ashes of Creation board game may be produced post the launch of the flagship MMORPG.[18]

  • Previously this was scheduled for release at around the time of the MMORPG Beta phase.[4]
Just to be clear, a board game doesn’t impact any mmo development. They are 2 very different sets of employees.[19]Steven Sharif

It is a resource management and combat game with an action economy.[4]

  • Each player chooses a Class and attempts to build a Guild that takes over a server on Ashes of Creation.[4]
  • The more guild members, the more action tokens the guild will receive. These tokens can be spent on actions on the game board and during battles.
  • Guilds gain income by constructing Caravans.
  • Players have a pool of resources that they keep secret.
    • Followers.
    • Gold.

There are several types of combat in the game.[4]

  • Attacking caravans.
  • Arenas (instanced).
  • Guild wars.
  • Raid bosses.
    • Attacking a raid boss makes the game co-op. Other guilds can then join in to fight the boss.
    • The raid boss' level is based on the level that the game board is at.

The game comes as a complete set with an adjustable map that players construct every game.[4]

  • The map is comprised of six components that are placed together.
  • The game board is made of zones that evolve as players complete activities and actions.

The game is playable by two to five players.[4]

  • The game will last about 30 minutes per player.

There will be expansions, but the base game can be played stand-alone.[4]

  • Expansions will come with additional map tiles with new locations to gain resources from.
    • Map tiles from expansions can be switched out.
  • Expansions come with additional structures.
  • Expansions will have characters that are race-specific to Ashes of Creation.
    • Each race will have certain advantages and abilities.
