Ravensburger, publisher of board games, toys and puzzles, will release two new cooperative “Minecraft” tabletop titles: “Minecraft”: Portal Dash and “Minecraft”: Heroes of the Village.  

“‘Minecraft’: Builders and Biomes was a huge hit, and we heard from fans that they loved fighting mobs and also wanted a game for younger players,” says Cassidy Werner, head, games, Ravensburger, North America. “We decided to give them both. ‘Minecraft’: Portal Dash allows players to fight mobs to their heart’s content, whereas ‘Minecraft’: Heroes of the Village is a lighter cooperative game for ages seven and up that includes animal companions. Both games are designed in collaboration with the Mojang, so they truly capture everything players love about the world of Minecraft in tabletop form.”  

“Minecraft”: Portal Dash will be available widely in November, and “Minecraft”: Heroes of the Village will be coming to Target in November and available widely in January.
