====Board games==== [[Games Workshop]] produced a ''[[Judge Dredd (board game)|Judge Dredd]]'' [[board game]] based on the comic strip in 1982.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1098/judge-dredd|title=Judge Dredd β Board Game|work=boardgamegeek.com}}</ref> In the game players, who represent judges, attempt to arrest perps that have committed crimes in different location in Mega City One. A key feature of the game is the different action cards that are collected during play; generally these cards are used when trying to arrest perps although some cards can also be played against other players to hinder their progress. The winner of the game is the judge who collected the most points arresting perps. Players could sabotage each other's arrest attempts. Additionally, there were many amusing card combinations such as arresting Judge Death for selling old comics, as the ''Old Comic Selling'' crime card featured a ''2000 AD'' cover with Judge Death on it. The game used characters, locations and artwork from the comic. It was re-released by Rebellion in 2022. In 1987, Games Workshop published a second Dredd-inspired board game, "[[Block Mania (board game)|Block Mania]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/330/block-mania|title=Block Mania β Board Game|work=boardgamegeek.com}}</ref> In this game for two players, players take on the role of rival neighboring blocks at war. This was a heavier game than the earlier Dredd board game, focused on tactical combat, in which players control these residents as they use whatever means they can to vandalize and destroy their opponent's block. Later the same year, Games Workshop released the [[Mega-Mania]] expansion for the game, allowing the game to be played by up to four players. [[Mongoose Publishing]] have released a miniatures skirmish game of gang warfare based in Mega-City One called "Gangs of Mega-City One",<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.2000adreview.co.uk/reviews/extra/2005/misc/gangsofmegacity/gangs_of_mega_city.shtml |title= Gangs of Mega-City One|publisher=2000adreview.co.uk | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140325120110/http://www.2000adreview.co.uk/reviews/extra/2005/misc/gangsofmegacity/gangs_of_mega_city.shtml |date=25 March 2014 |archive-date= 25 March 2014}}</ref> often referred to as GOMC1. The game features judges being called in when a gang challenges another gang that is too tough to fight. A wide range of miniatures has been released including box sets for an Ape Gang and an Undercity Gang. A Robot Gang was also produced but was released as two blister packs instead of a box set. Only one rules expansion has been released, called "Death on the Streets". The expansion introduced many new rules including usage of the new gangs and the ability to bring Judge Dredd himself into a fight. This game went out of print shortly thereafter, but was replaced by the "Judge Dredd Miniatures Game", which was published free in many stages as the company sought feedback from fans and players. In 2012, an expansion was released called "Block War!". Miniatures continue to be manufactured at a slow pace. In November 2017, [[Osprey Publishing|Osprey Games]] announced their development of a new graphic adventure card game, entitled ''Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth''. The game is designed and based on ''The Lost Expedition'', a game from designer Peer Sylvester.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://therewillbe.games/articles-boardgame-reviews/6306-play-matt-judge-dredd-the-cursed-earth-review|title=Play Matt: Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth Review|last=Thrower|first=Matt|date=2019-01-21|website=There Will Be Games|language=en-GB|access-date=2019-02-19}}</ref> In the game, one to five players "[lead] a team of judges against dinosaurs, mutants, and the Cursed Earth itself".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dicetowernews.com/osprey-games-announces-judge-dredd-the-cursed-earth/48075|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171204015340/http://www.dicetowernews.com/osprey-games-announces-judge-dredd-the-cursed-earth/48075|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 December 2017|title=Osprey Games announces Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth {{!}} Dice Tower News|last=Burbidge|first=Greg|website=www.dicetowernews.com|language=en-US|access-date=2018-09-10}}</ref> It was released on 21 February 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/240957/judge-dredd-cursed-earth|title=Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth|website=BoardGameGeek|access-date=2019-02-19}}</ref>
