Maestro Media is throwing it back to the ’60s with its new board game based on the iconic Stanley Kubrick movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey.

In 2001: A Space Odyssey | The Board Game, players fight to survive as HAL tries to sabotage Discovery One’s mission. One player controls HAL while the rest of the players work together to outsmart the AI. Each crewmember has a special ability that they can use in the fight against HAL, but the AI plays dirty. HAL can take multiple turns, wreak havoc, and sabotage ship systems.

The game ends when HAL destroys three systems or if Life Support goes down, but the crew wins if they can complete three logic sequences in the HAL core. The game is designed for 3-5 players, perfect for an intimate game night or a bigger party. 

2001: A Space Odyssey | The Board Game will be available at maestromedia.com starting June 20. Whether you’re a cinephile or a sci-fi lover, this board game is the perfect addition to your collection.
