To start playing Bloodborne: The Board Game, first, set up the game using the components included in the core game. Place the map tiles, set up the hunting board, and distribute the hunter boards and other cards among the players according to the number of players. Each player takes on the role of a Hunter. When you encounter foes, use your unique Trick Weapons. Remember, these weapons have different forms and powers, so choose the right one based on the enemy's weaknesses. During combat, use the card - driven system. Make smart choices as success or failure depends on them. If you die, don't worry, you'll wake up in the Hunter’s Dream. But be aware that previous foes and obstacles might be back. As the Blood Moon rises, you need to move forward quickly to complete the Hunt. After each game, store the components in a cool, dry place. Keep the cards in a card protector to prevent damage. If you have any questions while playing, refer to the rulebook.
