Helldivers 2 is now a co-op board game packed with incredible miniatures and missions to team up, blast bugs, and dodge friendly fire.
If you’ve ever wanted to blast bugs, toss stratagems, and yell “FOR SUPER EARTH!” across a table covered in plastic chaos—your moment has arrived. Helldivers 2: The Board Game is here, and it’s not messing around.
This 1–4 player co-op brings the glorious mayhem of the video game into a full-on tactical tabletop experience, complete with detailed miniatures, card-driven action, and plenty of dice-fueled disasters.
Ready to fumble that stratagem call? Let’s break down the game that’s bringing controlled chaos to game night.
You get four Helldivers in the core box—captain, heavy, sniper, and pyro—alongside a swarm of Terminids ready to ruin your day. Missions are long, brutal, and hilariously fun, with just enough room for someone to accidentally nuke the team. With expansions, StretchPay options, and a Gamefound campaign packed with extras, this one’s built for hobbyists who love painting minis and screaming at their friends.
From Digital Carnage to Cardboard Chaos
Helldivers 2 has already made a name for itself as a digital meat grinder where teamwork, chaos, and the occasional friendly fire reign supreme. Now, it’s landing on your tabletop with a board game adaptation that’s packing serious heat—and even more plastic.
Hell Divers 2 Miniatures Game Time & Setup
Here’s the deal: this is a 1-to-4 player co-op game clocking in at around 2–3 hours per session. So, no, this isn’t a quick filler before bed. But if you like your strategy with a side of space-bug carnage, this one’s worth your attention.
Miniatures and Mayhem
Miniature lovers, you’re in luck. The core set comes loaded: 4 Helldivers (captain, heavy, sniper, pyro), plus a swarm of enemies like the Stalker, Brood Commander, Hive Guard, Shrieker, and the gloriously gross Bile Spewer. Oh, and don’t forget the Terminid hordes—plural. There’s also a fat stack of 150 cards, a bunch of boards, dice, tokens, tiles—you get the idea. This is a full kit.
Pledge Breakdown
Now, for the wallet part. There are three pledge levels on Gamefound:
- Commander Pledge (£61): Just the core box. Everything you need to start vaporizing bugs in the name of Super Earth.
- Galactic Commander (£92): Core box plus the Patriot Exosuit and two mystery expansions.
- Hell Commander (£246): The whole arsenal—core box, expansions, stretch goals, exclusives, and probably enough content to fill your entire Kallax shelf.
StretchPay options make the pricier pledges sting a little less, so if you’re the type to go all-in, there’s some flexibility.
Final Thoughts
Score your Helldivers 2 miniatures in this Kickstarter-style campaign, which is live now! It’s shaping up to be a strong contender in the tactical co-op space. Just don’t expect mercy from the bugs—or your friends when the stratagems go sideways.
