Experience Dark Souls on the tabletop with this epic board game!

One of the most highly acclaimed Action RPG games now has its spotlight as a board game! The Dark Souls series is highly renowned for being a challenging yet rewarding game, and the board game is no different in this respect. As fans of the game will be ecstatic to learn, the Dark Souls Board Game uses stunning miniatures of all your favourite characters/enemies allowing you to take a proper look at your personal favourite boss! The board game features a "fast set-up, long reveal" mechanism this allows players to set up and get into the game quickly as you build the location up the more you explore. The sense of danger and tension you experience as you explore new locations and uncover the monsters who dwell within these dark depths is very reminiscent of the games. As with the games, players must experiment with core combat mechanisms and utilise clever management of stamina in order to survive. The game supports 1 to 4 players and takes around 90 to 120 minutes to play.

Each copy of the game includes the following components:

  • 27 Highly Detailed Plastic Miniatures
  • 9 Double-sided Tiles
  • 4 Character Boards
  • 64 Health and Stamina
  • 15 Dice
  • 121 Tokens
  • 252 Cards
  • 8 Tracker Dials

The base dark souls game includes boss encounters, including one against the all so trying Dragon Slayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough. Utilizing an innovative behaviour mechanism means that no two encounters are ever the same, giving the game near-infinite replayability. The expansions for the Dark Souls Board Game add more enemies, bosses, cards, maps, mechanics and much more! Every expansion is themed around an iconic boss from the games, From the Executioners Chariot through to the fearful Manus, Father Of The Abyss.
