Wyrd Games Announces New Board Game, Vagrantsong
June 3, 2021 by brennon
Wyrd Games has announced their new board game that will be popping up later this year. Vagrantsong is a board game heavily inspired by American folklore and ghost stories and looks a treat when it comes to its design.
Vagrantsong // Wyrd Games
Vagrantsong is a two-to-four player game that has you playing vagrants in North America who have found themselves hopping on board a ghost train. The game is fully cooperative and has you facing down "bosses" in hopes of escaping the ghost train.
You'll also be working to try and solve the mystery of the Silver Ferryman and tackle the Haints which are seeking to keep you aboard the train.
Vagrantsong Gameplay // Wyrd Games
Vagrantsong is played over a series of twenty-plus scenarios where you'll take on these different Haints and unlock more of the story as you go. I absolutely love the art style for this game which looks like it has been drawn from very, very classic Disney films and animations of the 1900s.
As you play through the campaign you'll face Events that will test your skills and "Moments" which will give you a deeper understanding of the mystery of the train. Some of these Moments will stick with you forever and carry through into additional playthroughs.
There are going to be six Vagrants for you to choose from, each with their own unique set of skills that they bring to the table. I am very eager to learn more about this game because it seems like it could be absolutely fascinating. Again, I love the art style, the variety of Vagrants you have to choose from and the premise behind the game.
Are you taken by the look of Vagrantsong?

Love the theme, this looks like a game to keep an eye on.
But if I could have one gaming wish: it would be for game designers to lose their fixation with D6.
I remember the square Playstation game Vagrant Story – that was absolutely ridiculous!
