Announcing the 30th Anniversary release of Worms: The Board Game
Mantic Games and Team17 are celebrating 30 years of the Worms series with Worms: The Board Game - 30th Anniversary Edition . Available from today, the new special edition follows the original’s successful Kickstarter campaign, an OnTableTop Board Game of the Year award, and multi
Mantic Games and Team17 are celebrating 30 years of the Worms series with Worms: The Board Game - 30th Anniversary Edition.
Available from today, the new special edition follows the original’s successful Kickstarter campaign, an OnTableTop Board Game of the Year award, and multiple sold-out retail print runs… proving once again that, ironically for a series about invertebrate warfare, it has serious legs!
Players will command heavily armed worm teams across a destructible landscape, collecting crates, dodging hazards, and unleashing an arsenal of utterly ridiculous weaponry in laugh-out-loud battles. Survive everything the enemy can throw at you, and be the last team standing to declare victory!
Designed for 2-6 players, aged 10 and above, with games lasting around 45 minutes, Worms: The Board Game is easy to learn, endlessly unpredictable, and packed with an addictive blend of tactical positioning, chaotic weapons, and all the hilarity of both unintended disasters and outrageously lucky shots that have given Worms fans so many moments of joy over 30 years.
Building on the success of the original and award-winning retail release, this new anniversary box has been upgraded with:
24 unique 3D Worm miniatures (up from sixteen minis of four repeated sculpts)
Six multi-hex landscapes for larger maps (up from four)
The 5th & 6th Player Expansion, rules and components for bigger multiplayer battles
Additional weapons, utilities and game cards
New 3D plastic flame markers
Whether you're a longtime fan of the series or discovering Worms for the first time, players will quickly learn that success comes from strategy, chance, and sometimes recognising the perfect moment to deploy a Holy Hand Grenade!
The complete range of Worms tabletop games is available to order right now at Worms™: The Tabletop Collection, including both the Standard and Anniversary editions of the board game, a deluxe neoprene playmat, and a special Worms board game advent calendar.
Early Bird gets the Worm offer!
To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Worms franchise, we've got a special discount code (EARLYBIRD15) that Worms fans can use on the Mantic webstore to save 15% across the whole Worms board game collection!
*Promotion available from 14:00hrs Wednesday 29th July until 23:59hrs BST Sunday 9th August, and while stocks last.

What's the best Worms game on PC?
When Worms released back in 1995, there was nothing else like it. The idea of taking the cute wiggly woos from the bottom of your garden and outfitting them with more firepower than Doomguy was absurd. But of course, that's where the appeal lay: there's nothing like the sheer, al

Patch 3.8 - Live Now!
Hey everyone, Worms Armageddon has been out for 21 years and we're pleased to say that a huge new patch is now live for the game! Check out the awesome patch trailer below: Worms Armageddon version 3.8 is finally released! It’s been a long time coming, and we hope you’ll enjoy al
Hey everyone, Worms Armageddon has been out for 21 years and we're pleased to say that a huge new patch is now live for the game! Check out the awesome patch trailer below: [previewyoutube=9LqDXVaMAH4;full][/previewyoutube] Worms Armageddon version 3.8 is finally released! It’s been a long time coming, and we hope you’ll enjoy all the features, changes, and bug fixes that made it into this update. To whet your appetite, here are our highlights:
Extended Scheme Options
Customise your matches in weird and wonderful ways with over 70 new scheme options. Manipulate physics, fire more than one weapon in a turn, have worms bounce around the landscape, or choose from a huge array of other tweaks in order to perfect your scheme. These options are only for the seasoned Worms veteran, and as such you will need to have completed the Single Player mode and unlocked The Full Wormage in order to access them. For those who used the RubberWorm module in older versions of the game, all features formerly accessed through that module are now hiding behind the shiny new Extended Scheme Options star button. Relive your past glories – all your old RubberWorm recorded games can be played back with no additional software required.
Tweening
Worms Armageddon has never looked this smooth! In older versions, in-game movement and animations would be capped at the update rate of the game engine: 50 frames per second. In 3.8 though, experience the fully silky smoothness of whatever frame rate your hardware can support – movement is now visually interpolated between game engine frames as your worms and weapons glide majestically through the air. Watch a recorded game in slow motion and you’ll never want to go back!
Windowed Mode
Worms Armageddon can now be played in a window! Awkward screen resolution changes and game capture issues are a thing of the past if you enable this feature in Advanced Settings.
Streamers’ Heaven
Along with Windowed Mode, a couple of additional options have been added specifically for streamers to make their lives easier. Audio can now be allowed to continue playing when the game window loses focus, and the new Streaming Mode will prevent IP addresses from being displayed when hosting or joining an online game (see the Update Documentation for more information).
CPU Teams at Large
CPU teams can now be added to online games. They’re always uniquely distinguishable from player teams to prevent shenanigans, but you can now finally team up with your friends to take down a swarm of those computer-controlled invertebrates. Or if you’d just like to watch a relaxing game while you work, matches containing only CPU teams may now also be started, both online and offline.
Mapshot
Have you ever wrought a beautiful trail of destruction on your Worms Armageddon landscape and wished you could play a brand new game on the land that remained? Or have you ever been interrupted in the middle of a game and wished you could extract the remaining landscape to help you set up a rematch? Well, now you can! Simply type /map into the in-game chat or press Alt + Pause at any time to save a snapshot of the current state of the map, allowing you to continue your rampage from where you left off!
Compatibility
Much effort has been expended in allowing everyone, no matter their hardware, to have a good Worms Armageddon experience. Further tweaks have been made to improve the experience of Windows 10 users. Worms Armageddon now runs well under Wine or Proton on Linux. A new OpenGL renderer has been added which, depending on your hardware, might outperform the other renderers. Windowed mode means there’s no more need for your hardware to support specific screen resolutions. And for those into retro computing, Worms Armageddon has been seen to once again run on systems of yore…
Translations
Through the tireless efforts of volunteer translators, Worms Armageddon is now fully translated to seven languages (Finnish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish), with four more languages with partial translations on the way. The Update Documentation (Readme) now has translations to Finnish, French and Spanish!
Fixes and More
Over seven years in development, this update’s release notes list consists of:

370 fixes,
45 changes, and
61 new features.
Our thanks go to all the hardworking members of the Worms Armageddon community who helped make this update a reality. And for the full list of what’s new, check the Update Documentation included with this update! That wraps up the patch notes, now grab your Holy Hand Grenades, hop on your Super Sheep and jump into the water when you actually meant to fire your Bazooka. oh and if you're looking to get an early hands on with the next Worms game, Worms Rumble, you can sign up for the Closed Beta until 5:30pm BST / 6:30pm CEST right HERE and play today.
