Pledge Levels Revealed For Elden Ring: The Board Game
November 18, 2022 by brennon
Steamforged Games has now revealed the pledge levels that you're going to be able to pick up when it comes to backing Elden Ring: The Board Game.
Elden Ring: The Board Game - Entry Pledge // Steamforged Games

The first of the options you can choose is the Entry Pledge. This has been designed as a standalone set but also as an expansion for the core game. Instead of exploring all of Limgrave, this focuses on the Weeping Peninsula and the Misbegotten foes of Castle Morne. The finale focuses on a clash with the Leonine Misbegotten (who was easier to kill than his minions by the way).
Whilst this isn't the "full" game, it does offer twenty-plus hours of campaign and side quests as well as varying narrative elements for repeat plays.
You can go deeper into the world of Elden Ring with the Core Pledge if you prefer.

This set has you exploring all of Limgrave and facing off against Margit, The Fell Omen himself. There are more options included here (as you might have guessed) across a thirty-to-fourty-hour campaign plus whatever has been unlocked through the process of the Kickstarter campaign.
You'll also find yourself coming up against a variety of different enemies and bosses including the likes of the Tree Sentinel. It certainly feels like the way to dive in and get the BIG Elden Ring experience without breaking the bank.
Lastly, there is also the All-In Pledge which comes with (as you might have guessed) everything. You get loads and loads of ring-bound quest books, heaps of miniatures representing your foes and loads of options for adventure.

This comes with a whole host of content for you to dive into from the Core and the Entry Pledges. That means all of Limgrave and the Weeping Peninsula. There is also a Stormveil Castle expansion (which can also be played separately) alongside the Erdtree Avatar and Flying Dragon Agheel expansions (more bosses to fight).
So, pretty much everything you'd need to start telling the story of your Tarnished. I'm not sure that I'd be plumping for the huge $429 pledge myself but that Core Pledge seems like it could be a good buy. It should give you plenty to be getting on with before expansions come out later down the line.
Could you be tempted to get into this as your Gloomhaven-style purchase for the year?

Looks like a fabulous game and box.
Lots of pretty minis but I’m going to just stick with the video game. It looks quite expensive.
I seem to be in the minority of folks who have genuinely enjoyed Steamforged’s Dark Souls board game (the Resident Evil and Horizon Zero Dawn games are also great!). There are definitely some problems with the rules as written, but they’re easily modified—I’ve had a great time with it.
I doubt I’ll be able to swing an all in pledge here ($429—yikes!), but I’ll definitely be backing it at some level.
