What to Expect
You control a band of unusual monster hunters, returning to the village of Bran between raids to build weapons and refine your deck. Each raid pits you against one of Vlad's Champions in location-dependent encounters that change strategies and combinations. The game mixes Deck Construction, Dice Rolling, Hand Management and a modular board to create evolving scenarios across a campaign.
Who Is This Game For?
For players who enjoy cooperative campaign experiences: Blood leans toward the hobby/enthusiast level due to its campaign focus and ~120 minute playtime. It's aimed at teens and adults (14+) comfortable with longer, narrative sessions and prior experience with deck or campaign games.
How It Works
Core mechanics include Cooperative Game, Deck Construction, Dice Rolling, Hand Management and Grid Movement on a Modular Board. In successive raids you face Champions whose tactics vary by location; between raids you return to Bran to upgrade equipment and modify your deck. Dice resolve conflicts and some actions while hand management and deck construction shape your tactical options.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Diego Fonseca and Leonardo Romano, Blood combines boss battles with a campaign-driven storytelling structure. The modular board and scenario system change encounters based on location. It is listed in the Nova Aetas Chronicles family and emphasizes Boss Battle and Alternate History themes.
