Dark Souls The Board Game

Description

Age: 14 years + | Players: 1-4  (Solo Playable) | Game Time: 90 – 120 min | Type: Strategy, Thematic, Exploration, Fantasy, Fighting, Medieval, Miniatures

The Dark Souls board game is a brutally hard exploration miniatures game for 1-4 players. Prepare to die. The game features a “fast set-up, long reveal” mechanism that gets you into the game quickly and builds the location as you explore. The sense of danger is palpable as you discover new locations and the monsters that inhabit these dark places. The core combat mechanism and enemy behavior system forces deep strategic play and clever management of stamina to survive. Dark Souls includes numerous boss and mini-boss encounters — including one against the Dragon Slayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough — and utilizes an innovative behavior mechanism so that no two encounters are ever the same, thus giving the game near infinite replayability.

Player comments:

“You get a board game AND a bunch of paintable models to go with it.. my idea of awesome. Plenty of bits, pieces and peripherals to keep the game going and you on your toes. What you think is a simple encounter may be just that… but with an unfortunate dice roll it could also lead to your death. The art work on the box, game tiles and cards etc is a beautiful dark and the quality is excellent. Character cards are a form of solid cardboard and won’t degrade or wear easily.” ~ mycmyl.dcsrpcp39
