Although the game featured a campaign section, this essentially amounted to a list of bosses that could be canonically found in a particular location, using the aforementioned reset mechanic between each foe. Our original intention was to create an experience you could play through in a single session, from start to finish. Exploration was largely abstracted away, to streamline gameplay.
Once you’d beaten that boss, you would reset the playing area and set up a new one, repeating the process - and if you defeated the second ‘main’ boss, you completed the game.
The setting was a zoomed-in dungeon, featuring a handful of rooms leading up to a boss fight. The focus of the original DARK SOULS: The Board Game was to recreate the intricacies of combat, and in particular spectacular boss fights. Before that, I briefly mentioned the campaign dashboard, to give a little context to what would follow - and in this article we’ll be discussing the dashboard, and the campaign in much more detail. If you did catch it, you may remember that, last time, I revealed the Last Rites card to better explain how individual encounters are structured. It’s pretty essential reading for this one, so please do check it out before going any further! Following that, it sounds like a lot of you have questions, so I’ll do my best to answer them in this piece.Īnd, if you missed it, don’t worry, you can find the article here. I’m delighted that you all enjoyed my previous article, discussing how encounters work in the new version of the rules.
