Dark Souls board game funded with more than $5 million raised, praise the fun

Visions of joy ahead: The official Dark Souls board game Kickstarter campaign came to a close today, and every single one of its stretch goals has been met. That means a total of 14 grunt types, 10 player classes, 10 armor sets, 10 invaders, six summonable allies, and five bosses when the game launches in spring 2017. That's a lot of Dark Souls for your tabletop.

Know what else is a lot? The obscene amount of money this Kickstarter raised. With a final tally of more than £3.6 million/$5 million, this means that the board game raised more than 7,300 percent of its initial goal of £50,000/$70,832. Hopefully Steamforged Games, the creators of the game, don't get taken out by a trap or a boss or something. It would suck to lose that many souls-- er, dollars.

Prepare to dice.
