    Dang you are right..that looks a lot like the cover of the game! I am not sure if there is any connection though.

    Looks like a blatant rip off merchant trying to cash in.

    Definitely. They are obviously trying to associate their game with this hoping that people will think they are connected, as you almost did!!

    Didn't realise, but the board game was released in 2016!! Maybe there is some connection????

    Definitely not a licensed title.

    It's either a crazy ol' coincidence or it is drawing direct inspirado from Rare's IP.

    Thankfully, even though it's a little on the nose when drawing the comparison, it hasn't directly stolen assets or artwork.

    So good on them for not doing the naughty tsk tsk. Haha

    Nice find, @joezilladekilla!

    Pretty sure the @Rare-Employee crowd needs to take a good look at this, and consider legal action. There are enough similarities between the two that I think they’d have a strong case. But I’m no lawyer/barrister.

    @logansdadtoo @Pikaaroon - The earliest mention of this game I can find is early 2015, and that's a boxed copy. Meaning they must have been working on the game before this date so I'm guessing the project would have started in 2014 or earlier. I think it's just a coincidence and maybe they're fans of Rares art style.
