Dark Souls: The Card Game Arrives March 16th

Steamforged Games has done very well with the Dark Souls board game and now the hit video game franchise is getting the card game treatment. In Dark Souls: The Card Game players will fight enemies to gain souls and treasures but need to craft and manage their deck carefully as it also represents their health. The title is for one to four players, ages 14+, plays in around 45 to 60 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $50.00 when it arrives March 16th.

From Steamforged:

Dark Souls: The Card Game is a cooperative deck evolution card game for 1-4 players. Players must explore the Encounters around them, defeating a myriad of enemies to gain Souls and Treasure.

They must use these to evolve and adapt their deck to better fight their enemies. When the players are ready, they must challenge the powerful bosses that lie within.

The players must walk a narrow path, however, since their decks allow them to attack their enemies, but also represent their health. Decks are only refreshed when the players rest at the bonfire, so players must defeat their enemies while husbanding their strength for the greater challenges ahead.

Thinking quickly and adapting to the enemy’s attacks is key for survival. A misstep can be fatal, but the rewards of success are great. Adapt your deck, evolve your strategy, and prepare to die.
