This War of Mine: The Board Game is a 2017 Polish cooperative board game published by Awaken Realms, designed by Michal Oracz and Jakub Wiśniewski as an adaptation of the video game This War of Mine. It has been noted for its bleak, unforgiving gameplay, often forcing players into ethical dilemmas. A war game from the perspective of civilians trying to survive a conflict that is primarily based on the siege of Sarajevo, it was announced in November 2015 by 11 Bit Studios, the video game's developer; after a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2016, it was released through several distributors the following year. While agreed upon by reviewers to not be a "fun" game, it has received mostly favorable reviews for its role as an artistic statement or educational tool.
