About the Game

Bloodwork is a dark fantasy RPG board game with deep character customization, unique enemy AI mechanics, and a rewarding and infinitely replayable campaign. You are a mercenary hired to defend the port town of Westarch from marauders, but you will soon find there are plenty of opportunities for both blood and coin in this shattered world.

The heart of Bloodwork is its combat. Players will use their mercenaries’ unique abilities and equipment to battle enemies with devious and punishing mechanics. Round order is controlled by the enemy AI deck, determining which of the three groups activate and in what order: Mercenaries, Minions or Leader. Players will often activate in the middle of the other two, meaning they will have a chance to plan against the next action the enemies will take, sometimes even interrupting the leader’s strongest attacks.

Bloodwork gives you a full RPG character experience with simple concepts funneled into complex decision-making. Everything is streamlined and organized with your mercenary board, a dual-layered punchboard sheet that keeps everything you need right in front of you. With a variety of races, classes and equipment available, your mercenary will feel truly unique and undeniably yours.
