    Of course it is, what isn't anymore? The board game resurgence has been going strong for a while and everything gets made into board games now...so why not a mediocre (or just outright terrible, in my opinion) game that was a critical and financial letdown? Recently added to Kickstarter, like all miniature based board games it is pretty pricey. I am curious how the deals for this came about but I was definitely taken aback by it. The core ideas in Agents of Mayhem, even from a story perspective, are competent (I mean, its just GI JOE but with...dick jokes, I guess?) so I guess it would translate to a competent game. however, I'm mostly just sharing this because of how weird it seemed when I came across it. Even more odd is that Academy Games is responsible for games with a more educational and historical bent to them. Either way, I guess its good that Volition might get something out of that mess of a game.

    Considering Deadly Premonition has a board game, I probably shouldn't be surprised, but I kinda am. Not that another video game got it's own board game, but that AGENTS OF MAYHEM got one. I figured it's success (or lack thereof) would have led to it being shelved and never spoken of or thought about again.

    Waiting for the day they turn Mario Party into an actual board game, and the subsequent Mario Party Party: Board Game edition

    I'd be all for a trend of disliked video games getting board game releases for inscrutable reasons.

    @ashghanistan: They made a card game that uses the eReader for mini games, if that counts.
