Rayman: The Board Game is an upcoming Rayman-themed board game designed by Maxime Tardif and FLYOS. It was announced in April 2024 and is set to be available on Kickstarter on September 17, 2024.

The game will allow for one to four players, and appears to be almost exclusively themed after Rayman Legends. It is set to include four figures in the base game and two figures in an expansion for a total of six figures: Rayman, Globox, a Grand Minimus, Barbara, Murfy, and the Teensy Queen.

Announcement and development

Rayman: The Board Game was announced in April 2024 and set for release in the third quarter of 2024 via the website raymanboardgame.com, with its goal advertised as follows: "Team up with your favorite heroes in an epic race, dodging dangers and saving the Teensies!". At the time, it was said that the game would allow for two to five players. Box art for the game was revealed at the same time, with figures of Rayman and Globox.

On August 1st 2024, a community manager for FLYOS shared pictures of the game's prototype with the community, and asked for early feedback. The pictures showcased various components of the game such as tokens, cards and figures. In reply to several comments highlighting that the game appears to be almost exclusively themed after Rayman Legends, the community manager replied that they are "not gonna forget the older titles".

On August 19th 2024, an overview from Maxime Tardif was uploaded onto YouTube. This overview revealed a few things, including various difficulty settings, an invitation for the community to design a new board environment, and an official reveal for the 5-6 player expansion pack. The expansion is set to include the Murfy and Teensy Queen figures, along with two new boards set in the Palace Ruins theme of Olympus Maximus and 20,000 Lums Under the Sea. The video also promised to “unveil new figures and plenty of surprises”, suggesting that the currently-revealed set of figures may not be the only ones.
