Dark Souls Board Game Funded in 3 Minutes

There are still 26 days remaining until the campaign ends on May 16, so it's likely the funding figure will continue to swell, with more stretch goals unlocked as a result.
Dark Souls - The Board Game, as it's being called, is a tabletop game designed for 1-4 players. It's set in the Dark Souls universe and is made by Steamforged Games in partnership with Bandai Namco.
