MODIPHIUS has announced that both Kill Sam Vimes and Readers Digested will be available for pre-order from their website from Thursday 20th August.

Kill Sam Vimes is a competitive strategy game for 2-6 players. Each year, the Assassins’ Guild sends its most promising apprentices into the streets of Ankh-Morpork to attempt the impossible: get close enough to – as the name suggests – Kill Sam Vimes!

You can’t kill Sam Vimes, of course, but you can look spectacular failing to do it!

Readers Digested is a madcap game for 1-4 players based on Reiner Knizia’s tabletop classic, Blue Moon City. As Assistant Librarians, you’ll wrangle wayward books and ensure that those wandering trouble-magnets* get to their exams on time!

* To be clear, we’re talking about students, but we acknowledge some books have been known to attract trouble too.

They will be available to pre-order from Thurs 20th August at Modiphius Webshop

We reported back in Nov 2025 that MODIPHIUS would be producing two Discworld games, one a card game called Kill Sam Vimes and a board game, Readers Digested.

At this weekend's UK Games Expo, Modiphius had both out for demo games so we finally get to see some images of them, both of which are due out later in the year.

Rumour has it they will both be available to pre-order in the next month or so with an estimated release date of September/October.
