The ruined castle looms above a village of the damned — The castle at the heart of the lands. It drew breath, and it is hungry again.

01 The Legend

The land drank until it couldn’t.

Four mighty kings descended on the ancient castle on one fateful day. The Battle of the Four Kings began as a skirmish, swelled into a heated battle, surged into a frantic slaughter, and collapsed into a soulless massacre.

The blood ran so thick that when the earth could no longer drink, it poured into the creeks and rivers, through the tunnels of the mines and up into the castle. In that moment, as the story goes, the castle drew breath and tore the earth asunder. Sated by its gory harvest, it settled into a deceptive, motionless guise… or so they say.

Now a morbid pilgrimage has begun. Finding the treasure is only half the battle. Only the strongest and most cunning will endure long enough to claim their share and escape alive.

Who are you?
You start as nothing but a pauper, armed with a rusted pickaxe, a wooden plank for a shield and the flea-bitten rags you call clothes. And if fortune favors you…

02 How it plays

Five phases. One castle. One way out.

Every round the castle changes the rules a little, and every hero secretly decides how much they dare to spend. First to escape with seven gold wins, or whoever carries the most when the final event falls.

How you win: escape alive with at least seven gold out of the castle and step back onto a starting location, or hold the most gold when the Final Event is resolved. Game length is yours to choose: 15, 20 or 25 event cards.

- Combat

Simultaneous. Secret. Brutal.

Move beyond basic dice rolls. Behind your screen you secretly plot your attack against one of four body sectors, while predicting where your enemy will place their two blocks. Then the screens drop.

One strike, two blocks
Commit one attack and two defenses: hit, parry, or read your rival like a book.
Build on the fly
Find gear, equip it and pivot (agile skirmisher, armored tank or heavy hitter) as the game evolves.
Bet on the bloodbath
Heroes sitting out of a duel can wager gold on the winner. Everyone has a stake.

1 Screens up

Each player stands a screen up, so the rival can’t see their board.

03 On the table

Real. Tested. Playable.

Bloodshed isn’t a pitch deck. It’s a finished game with a printed board, boards, screens, cards, tokens and sculpted miniatures, played with strangers at conventions since 2024.

A full Bloodshed table, set up as in the rulebook: the board with four minis and its tokens, four player boards, four standing combat screens, the gear and item decks, the event deck, dice, chests and the game box

05 The Castle

A living, hostile map.

Four surrounding zones (Village, Forest, Mountains and Swamp) ring a castle that’s hungry for trespassers. Rivers and cracks split the land; mines and sewers tunnel under it.
