Bardsung: Legend of the Ancient Forge is a cooperative dungeon explorer board game for 1-5 players. Your journey begins with a single title. From there, you build a branching, labyrinthine dungeons of dangerous enemies, wandering monsters, challenging puzzles, and valuable treasure.
Heavily inspired by choose-your-own-adventure classics, Bardsung emphasises player agency. You and your party will always have a say in where you go, what you do, and how you respond to the obstacles the Ancient Forge throw your way.
With the myriad paths ahead and multiple endings, no two campaigns will be the same. You've got countless hours of fun ahead if you want to unravel Bardsung's many mysteries.
Your story begins with hobgoblins raiding nearby towns. The townsfolk are looking for warriors to venture into the mysterious Ancient Forge and dispatch them with a stout heart and steady hand. That’s where you come in. You and your ragtag band of heroes-in-the-making are looking to make a name for yourselves, and this seems the perfect opportunity to do so.
If you’re a fan of amazing storytelling, you’re in for a real treat. Your Bardsung adventures and escapades will unfold with lush narrative from the legendary Rhianna Pratchett, as well as the best storytelling Steamforged Games has to offer, including writing by ENNIE award-nominated Richard August!
Bardsung isn’t your standard dungeon crawl, and brings plenty of fresh mechanics to the table(top). The Marching Order system is a unique take on turn-based battles. Each character, friend or foe, has their own initiative card which governs when they act. You’ll need to master this element to survive.
What are you waiting for? The chance to tell your own tale of bravery and derring-do awaits! The songs won’t write themselves, you know…
Vanquish your foes, discover the secrets of the Ancient Forge, and become the hero you always dreamed of.
Become Bardsung.
