Characters & Big Boss Expansions For Steamforged’s Dark Souls
November 11, 2019 by brennon
Steamforged Games has added two new expansions into the mix for those playing Dark Souls: The Board Game. Leading the way we have the Character Expansion which, as you might imagine, adds new characters into the mix for you to play as when trying to survive the deadly encounters within the game.
So, if you like the idea of trying out some new character types in-game and testing your mettle alongside a few more allies then this could be for you. Away from the idea of using them in your games of Dark Souls, you could even use this as a little bit of inspiration if you fancied using them as heroes in your roleplaying games too.
Battle Versus Vordt
You can also take on a new boss in Dark Souls as they introduced Vordt Of The Boreal Valley into the mix, a rough old clash in the video game and now on the tabletop too.
Vordt, of course, comes with his new boards for you to battle him on, the massive model, a bunch of cards to track all of his abilities and such and more. I know a fair few people who have still been enjoying this game someway down the line and so these neat little expansions might be just what they need to get them back to the tabletop to play this some more.
Are you tempted to pick these up and are you a big Dark Souls: The Board Game fan?

Whoopee!! Two and a half years after the core set arrived to backers of the KS they finally got around to delivering the stretch goals. Can I be ar$ed to dig out the core game to use these and the other SGs? Possibly…
May be some models I can proxy into a generic army or use as monsters.
Don’t think I’ve played this game for a year but the arrival of the remaining Characters is reason to break it out again.
I think this game has some significant flaws… But I really enjoy playing it. I know people have produced various house rules which probably improve the game by fixing some of the issues, but i still enjoy it as it is. I also feel that they had / have a bit of an issue in that some of the problems come from trying to replicate or stay close to the video game. In my view they should have been more willing to ditch some of the features of the original i.e. rinsing and repeating, slogging and repetition.
I totally agree. They should have gone with something more original than just trying to replicate the video game on the table top. That said there are mechanics in there I really like. The game is far from perfect but I do enjoy breaking it out now and again.
