Bloodborne The Board Game Is Next CMON Kickstarter Project
February 21, 2019 by brennon
CMON has announced that the next Kickstarter project they are going to be working on is for Bloodborne The Board Game. It's time for them to step back into Yharnam to hunt beasts in the darkness.
Eric Lang and Michael Shinall have joined forces once again for this game after previously working together on projects like A Song Of Ice & Fire: The Miniatures Game. Lang also worked on the Card Game for the same game universe which you can find HERE.
One would imagine that the board game version of Bloodborne is going to expand on the tight and brutal combat of the card game and also throw some fancy new miniatures into the mix as well.
Have you had a chance to play the card game and if so, are you happy to see them bringing Bloodborne to life once more in board game form?
Drop your thoughts below...

This is probably a terrific project that deserves to get really huge. Solid game designers doing a solid property with a strong existing fan base. I’m sure that Mike McVey will make sure the minis are done right as well.
I wonder if backers will (inappropriately) conflate this with Dark Souls (since the video game properties are associated). Then again, a lot of people were using the Bloodborne card game as an example of great adaptation. So maybe people do know how good this will likely be.
According to general opinions and reviews in BGG, the game isn’t exactly a GREAT adaptation. Maybe we’re speaking about different card games or simply I haven’t read the proper reviews.
In people’s reviews of Dark Souls, they often had call outs to how much better Bloodborne was, and how Dark Souls should have been more like the Blood Born card game (ie, BB the CC doesn’t slavishly following the videogame’s anticlimactic respawn mechanics).
BB:tcg was pretty bad, and I think the general consensus is that it was bad. I haven’t played dark souls, but most of the complaints I’ve heard was about sculpts and the campaign/delivery itself. Cmon sculpts are generally ok quality (definately good for single non-resin pieces), and I don’t think you really have too worry about the latter.
My guess is this is going to be sort of a clone off the others
Oh, I hadn’t heard that review of Bloodbourne. Most of what I found said that it was a cool little filler game (which doesn’t really match the property, but whatever). In Dark Souls you missed the biggest disappointment from any Kickstarter that actually delivered. Steamforged designed a FANTASTIC demo, but completely failed to turn it into an interesting full game. They turned out a horrible anti climactic slog. Like, you’re actually supposed to fight exactly the same fights over and over again to grind your power up until you’re ready to fight a boss. It takes FIVE HOURS, and it… Read more »
The figure’s are going to be fabulous I think.
That’s practically guaranteed.
I love BB the Card Game. Before a FLGS that was close to my house shutdown, they would have monthly tournaments. The expansion made it better. I hope they do not do this game what they did with Munchkin. Basically, Munchkin on a board but a few rule tweaks to keep it from lasting forever. I hope it truly is a new game.
If this is a miniatures game (and I’m willing to bet that it is) I am all in. Like ALL in. Don’t care about the gameplay, I just need my very own Yharnam residents to paint.
