Lacuna Coil to release board game
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 16 March 2021
Last year, the big lockdown music merch fad was jigsaws. Big wow. Take some artwork and chop it up into pieces. Now metal band Lacuna Coil have taken things to their logical conclusion and announced that they will be launching their own board game later this year.
Designed by Labmasu Games, Horns Up promises to be “as similar as possible to the atmosphere experienced during a metal concert: loud, slightly bruised and exhilarating”. So a bit like Monopoly.
The aim of the game is to reach the front of the stage (which you construct using the game box), getting there by laying down cards to make a path to the security barriers.
As well as the standard game, you’ll also be able to buy an add-on card deck introducing “the less famliy-friendly” aspects of live music.
What exactly that means isn’t clear but, says Labmasu: “We developed this expansion hand in hand with Lacuna Coil, asking them about the most awkward and exciting situations that happened during their concerts around the world. The result of their tales has become a deck of cards that are extremely… heavy”.
A Kickstarter campaign to handle pre-orders for the game is set to launch on 26 Mar, with the first batch shipping out in November, just in time for the next winter lockdown.
