Get ready to grab the Holy Hand Grenade, watch out for incoming sheep, and see whether your plans can survive the chaos of the battlefield.
Today, Worms: The Board Game - 30th Anniversary Edition goes up for pre-order, heading to tabletops soon in early September!
For 30 years, the Worms series has been serving up equal parts strategy, mayhem, and (often) self-inflicted disaster. Now Team17's legendary videogame series returns in its biggest tabletop celebration yet.
Hitting a sweet-spot between both the original Collector's (now out of print) and Retail editions, the 30th Anniversary Edition is something very special.
Think of this bright new box as the GOLD-ilocks version (ba-dum-tss)...not too big, not too small, and packed with a simply outrageous arsenal of fun for videogame series veterans and tabletop newcomers alike!
Thirty Years of Joyous Mayhem - Now on Tabletop
Developed by River Horse and Caesar Ink, Worms: The Board Game - 30th Anniversary Edition brings all the unpredictable fun of the videogame to the tabletop.
Lead your heavily armed invertebrates across a destructible battlefield, fight for valuable supply crates, and fight to be the last team standing. Just don't be surprised if your own ingenious plans go spectacularly, and hilariously, wrong in true Worms fashion! And that's before we even get to the HUGE variety of comedic weaponry at your disposal...
To quote one fan's reaction to the original game:
"I've been playing worms since I was 10. I cannot contain my joy for how well the video game mechanics have rolled out onto the table. This is fantastic. 15 out of ten. They even found a way to put in "prod" and you can literally prod with your own finger the other worm or object off the board. Scatter die is excellent in this world. Everything is perfect. This is literally a video game you can play without electricity."
Now that's what we're talking about! Gather your friends, and let's play.
Bigger. Better. Wormier.
The 30th Anniversary Edition is the culmination of everything we've learned from previous versions, built for fans who wanted more than the core game alone and it's our most complete retail edition yet.
One of the highlights of the new box is the expanded miniature line-up versus the original retail edition, now featuring 24 unique sculpts, each packed with personality and armed for battle.
From sheep to miniguns, homing pigeons to banana bombs, and plenty of very silly hats, this is a set of minis that every Worms fan is going to want on their shelf. And all the miniature painters among you are in for a real treat!
We've also reprinted the standard retail edition, giving everyone two great ways to join the fight. BUT...if you're looking for the most feature-packed version of Worms in 2026, then trust us, you're going to want the new 30th Anniversary Box.
Whether you've been firing bazookas since the 90s or are discovering Worms for the first time, the 30th Anniversary Edition is a fitting celebration of one of gaming's most beloved multiplayer classics. Packed with upgraded components, expanded content, and lots of explosive comedy moments, it's Worms exactly as it should be.
