CMON’s Bloodborne Board Game Takes Yharnam To Kickstarter
April 24, 2019 by dracs
CMON have launched a Kickstarter for their new board game adaptation of the action-horror video game Bloodborne.
The game sees one to four hunters making their way through the sprawling streets of the city, facing all manner of nightmarish monsters as they seek the source of the evil that torments Yharnam.
As with most CMON games, the Bloodborne Board Game boasts an impressive selection of miniatures.
The imaginative monsters of Bloodborne and the way their designs all tell a story were one of the coolest things about the original video game and CMON look to have done a good job at recreating them in these miniatures.
Is this a Kickstarter you plan to get in on?

Nope, took a look at it but the minis turned me off, just not a style that does it for me, and never played the game. Also waiting already on waaaaaaay too many kickstarters 😛 😉
+1 @Storminwolf
Got enough tile based multiple mini games. Gimme another Blood Rage or Rising Sun though..
Am in on the new blood rage Kickstarter but did not have the money at the time for rising sun 🙁 May have to pick that one up at some point from an eBay scalper 🙁
I got everything on original Blood Rage KS.
Rising Sun was a 3+ player game that probably wouldn’t suit my RPG group.
When I board game it tends to be two player (or dungeon crawl for the RPG group) and I have more than enough crawl games, so Bloodborne doesn’t interest me… and I never heard of the console game.
Rising Sun is excellent, I wish I had got in on the KS.
Less than a handful of pupils to paint. I’M IN!!!! 😀
While I am not fan of either style-wise I do prefer Bloodborne over Dark Souls so I really like way those miniatures look.
Ok, big Kickstarter from CMON. Most of CMON’s Kickstarters have followed the 1/3-1/3-1/3 pattern (they do a third in the initial bump, a third in the slow period and a third at the end). This is regardless of whether they’re doing a two week campaign or a forty day campaign. If this pattern holds true, then Bloodborne will end up doing about as much as Steamforge’s Dark Souls board game (which seems about right for the crossover Soulsborne audience). Cthulhu: Death May Die was the exception to the pattern- it had a huge initial burst, but that burst ended up… Read more »
The hammer that KS exclusive guy has makes Warhammer weapons look reasonable by comparison.
I need another game like this like I need a hole in the head. Although it is CMON, so it will probably deliver before SOTC (Modiphius…)
Bloodborne is hands down one of the best (and my favourite) video games of the past decade.
And for anyone who hasn’t played it, do yourself a favour and do so.
The minis capture the look perfectly, however, in a 2d tile exploration game it can never capture the brilliance of the world without releasing huge 3d scenery add ons, which is not practical in the slightest.
Hopefully they can capture the mood and atmosphere in tiles as best they can.
Liking it isn’t dice based, which is exactly how a souls/borne game should be.
Looking forward to it.
The minis look fantastic!
Fabulous looking figures.
I’m attracted to BB’s card-driven mechanics. Too many dungeoncrawl boardgames use dice, and I have enough of them.
