In 1984 [[TSR]] put out two [[Dungeons & Dragons]] modules where you got to roleplay as Cimmeria's finest. Then they did a "Conan Role Playing Game" with three more. The [[barbarian]] class was originally a reference to the stories, which is why they got extra XP for smashing and destroying magic items and why no one wanted them aroung. [[Steve Jackson Games]] in 1988 got permission to do still more, and even a full [[GURPS]] rulebook. Then [[Mongoose Publishing]] had the licence, putting out "<strike>Spaceballs</strike>Conan: The RPG" in 2004.

Sometime between 2010 and 2016, Modiphius caught this potato so: "Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of." It uses a "roll under, target number is skill+trait" d20 system, with d6s used for dice. Players and DMs can use Momentum and Doom, respectively, to add extra d20s or extra effects or statuses to a scene.  Hilariously, the system was later used without much alteration to make their ''[[Star Trek]]'' licensed game.  They did ''John Carter of Mars'' after that, also with the same system, which makes sense from a "''Star Trek'' plus ''Conan''" mindset.

And in 2009, [[Fantasy Flight Games]] did a board game.
