Elden Ring: The Board Game (2024)

Overview

Welcome to the Lands Between, a mysterious realm with varied landscapes. As you explore, you’ll build a hex-based map, gather resources, interact with NPCs, and fight enemies. Your progress is guided by a narrative story with objectives and side-quests. Combat is diceless and deck-building, requiring strategic planning. Each player has a quest book for face-to-face encounters, with a unique battlefield grid dictating battle stances: aggressive, neutral, or defensive. Understanding enemy patterns is crucial for success. Combat happens in individual quest books, allowing others to continue exploring. When a dungeon is found, quest books join for cooperative boss fights. The game features detailed miniatures, numerous cards, and extensive quest books, offering a cooperative campaign for 1-4 players, with sessions lasting 90-120 minutes and campaigns spanning 30-40 hours, extendable with expansions.
