A Discworld Boardgame, was created by designers Leonard Boyd & David Brashaw (Backspindle Games) and published by Z-Man Games. The first copies went on sale on July 8 2011 at the North American Discworld Convention, exactly twenty years after Leonard had conceived the first draft in 1991. The box cover and 90 Discworld character cards were illustrated by Stephen Player. The second, Discworld: Ankh-Morpork, was designed by Martin Wallace and released by Treefrog Games in three different editions, each with different content and different game boards; the collectible editions also have different numbering system (the number 8 is replaced by 7a).

The card game Cripple Mr Onion is adapted from the novels.
