Will asked Christopher Paolini:

I'm in the tabletop gaming industry and am really interested about if it would be possible to do Eragon in a board/card game? I understand you've said before that 20th Century Fox owns the rights to Eragon - but typically those things include only the content related to the movie. For example, FFG does Game of Thrones games based on the books, but not the show. All contracts are different, so I figured I'd ask?

Christopher Paolini Thanks for asking, William! It's a great idea and I'm certainly open to it. However, the rights to make games—including board and card games—for public distribution have been sold to Fox 2000 as a part of the deal to make Eragon into a movie, so unfortunately I cannot say yes to your inquiry. Perhaps you could approach Fox with the question?
