Dark Souls: the board game is a brutal exploration game with miniatures, for 1-4 players.

The game features a mechanism called "fast set-up, long reveal", which allows players to set up the scenario and start playing very quickly while the rest of the environment is built as they explore. The sense of danger is palpable as new locations and monsters are discovered that inhabit the dark rooms that make up a level. The core of the combat system and enemy behavior require an approach that is deeply strategic, where stamina management is vital for survival.

Dark Souls includes numerous boss and mini-boss encounters — including Dragon Slayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough — and uses an innovative enemy management mechanism to ensure that no two encounters are ever the same, giving the game practically infinite replayability.
