The cult-classic Final Fantasy spin-off Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon will soon be available as a board game. According to the game’s Amazon store page, Chocobo’s Dungeon: The Board Games will release on June 19, and preorders are available for $50. We expect this will be a popular seller, so grab it before it’s out of stock.

Like the original video games, Chocobo’s Dungeon: The Board Game has players guide Chocobo through a multi-floor dungeon that changes every time you play. As you explore, you’ll encounter traps, collect items, battle iconic Final Fantasy monsters, and–if you survive long enough–ultimately face off against the final boss, Behemoth.
The game is designed for 1-4 players, who work together to get Chocobo through the dungeon. The box includes Chocobo and Reaper figures, a rulebook, three double-sided dungeon boards, a boss tile board, 100 playing cards, and a collection of counters and tokens.
While Chocobo’s Dungeon: The Board Games has existed in Japan since December 2023 and even included a multi-language rulebook with English instructions, this appears to be a wider official release.
Amazon preorders will be delivered on June 20. However, if you want Chocobo’s Dungeon: The Board Game earlier, you can import the multi-language Japanese version from Square Enix’s online store. Just be aware that you’ll pay an extra $10 for standard slow shipping, $35 for two-day shipping, or $55 for overnight delivery. Frankly, we’d suggest just preordering on Amazon, but the other option is there for those who want it.
If you’re looking for more Final Fantasy tabletop gaming, the Final Fantasy VII: Materia Hunter board game also launches this summer. While preorders for are sold out right now, it’s worth keeping an eye out in case they’re restocked before launch.
