Flow gets the tabletop treatment

Brain Games has developed a board game based on Flow, an animated movie which scooped an Academy Award at this year’s Oscars.

Brought to the UK by Hachette Boardgames UK, the Flow board game arrives on March 15th and sees players tasked with guiding the film’s displaced animals to safety by placing tiles to create escape routes – all while contending with an ever-rising flood.

Every minute, the game pauses and a tidal wave destroys some of the tiles that players have placed, making it a challenging race against time.

“The story of Flow is a timely one with lessons for future generations,” says Rob Trounce, Head of Marketing at Hachette Boardgames UK.

“Board games can be an ideal way to help them engage with those lessons in a new and exciting way – one in which kids work together to solve problems, fostering the very skills they need to hopefully solve the biggest ones of their generation. We’re thrilled with the success of this film, and we’re honoured to be launching its board game counterpart.”
