A Sci-Fi Masterpiece, Reimagined

Few films have shaped cinema and science fiction like 2001: A Space Odyssey. Now, Maestro Media is bringing Stanley Kubrick’s visionary masterpiece to life in a tabletop experience unlike anything before.

Created by acclaimed designer Phil Walker-Harding, this 1 vs. many game puts one player in control of HAL 9000, while the rest of the crew fights to outthink and outmaneuver the AI before it’s too late. Every decision matters. Every move changes the story.

This isn’t just a game—it’s a cinematic experience transformed into strategy and suspense.

?? 2001: A Space Odyssey | The Board Game launches June 20, 2025.
