The crowdfunding campaign for an officially licensed Dark Souls board game continues to soar. After reaching its target figure of £50,000/$72,000 in just three minutes, the Kickstarter now stands at a whopping £1.55 million/$2.2 million–and there are still 20 days to go before the effort wraps up on May 16.
Dark Souls – The Board Game, as it’s being called, is a tabletop game designed for 1-4 players. It’s set in the Dark Souls universe and is made by Steamforged Games in partnership with Bandai Namco.
Here is the game’s official description:
“Players choose from a number of core character classes and explore dangerous locations full of monsters, treasures, and deadly boss fights. Designed specifically for the Dark Souls universe and introducing a number of innovative gameplay mechanics, with world-class miniatures faithful to the rich universe, this game delivers an experience that captures the very essence of the original video games.”
Having now eclipsed £1.55 million/$2.2 million, the stretch goal for a “Crimson Set” has been unlocked. You can see a work-in-progress version of this in the image below. Should the campaign reach £1.6 million/$2.3 million, the developers will add a new “Dark Set” player character to the game, which you can see here.
