Each one has a particular focus, with Strength cards designed to deal more damage, Endurance cards to evade enemy attacks, Skill cards to interrupt an enemy's attack, and Vitality cards to block damage, regain health, or draw additional cards. The Trick Weapon dashboard consists of a number of different symbols representing damage and speed, as well as spaces denoting how many attacks that weapon has, but the long-and-short of it is that you have a number of “slots” where you can place a Stat card to modify a particular attack. Combat is then resolved by identifying who attacked first based on speed and whether the slower attack would go through dependent on the assailant’s death. You will die, often, but death is not the end as you end up in a different place (Hunter’s Dream) where you can heal, refresh your abilities, upgrade and then re-spawn in one of the marked places. It rewards teamwork, planning, and ingenuity while still keeping that unforgiving grit that makes its source material so beloved.

Bloodborne is set in a grim fantasy world where a plague spreads across the land transforming people into beasts.

If you have a dodge card in your hand, and an open slot on your weapon with a faster or similar speed than the monsters attack, you can play that card to dodge. It is extremely important to get there to recharge, but be careful because every trip increases the time tracker meaning you have less time to complete your mission. Whatever the reasons, Gehrman is the very embodiment of what it is to be a Hunter, and can employ all the tricks of their trade with a complete mastery of their execution.

If a space has an exit, a Hunter can then decide to move there and draw a new tile from the tiles deck so that the two connect to each other. All that said, Bloodborne: The Board Game succeeds in spite of those foibles, buoyed by a simple yet incredibly diverse combat system wrapped inside a deliciously refined deck building engine that ultimately feels like an advanced game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. I played Bloodborne: The board game at three players because apparently that’s the hardest difficulty and all games should be played on hard mode. On the other, it means that areas previously cleared become dangerous once again, half dead monsters are back to their starting point at full health, and of course if you were one point from inflicting the final blow to a boss, now you have a longer way to go.

While the game pieces in Bloodborne: The Board Game drip with fervent authenticity to their grimy and savage aesthetic, the unpainted models are amazing, some of them can be underwhelming when put into play.You may want to open a treasure chest but will you have enough cards afterwards to fend off an attack from the Scourge Beast?
