Steamforged Games Dark Souls: The Board Game – Characters Expansion with 6 New Classes

Step into the perilous world of Dark Souls with Steamforged Games’ The Board Game — Characters Expansion. This set adds six new character classes that broaden your tactical options and deepen the storytelling of every session. Each class brings its own flavor, challenges, and pacing, inviting you to experiment with different approaches as you push toward the ember-lit challenges that lie ahead. The expansion emphasizes cooperation, tension, and strategic planning without promising outcomes, letting players explore possibilities in their own time.

What’s included

Six distinct character classes are ready to join your party: Thief, Mercenary, Cleric, Pyromancer, Sorcerer, and Deprived. Each class comes with two miniatures — a starting figure to begin your adventure and an upgraded armour miniature you gain as you collect treasures. The treasures you uncover — both common and class-specific — shape how your team looks and plays, creating a tangible sense of progression as you explore the ruins together.

In addition to the new play styles, the miniatures are designed with crisp detailing that invites hobbyists to paint and customize for personal flair. The two-figure setup makes it easy to represent changes in your party over multiple adventures and to rotate options between sessions.
