Folklore Affliction (sans miniature) + Equipment pack & Recipes and crafting (pré-joué) (EN)

The games in the L'As des jeux Bazar are pre-played games. They have been inspected by one of our game experts and are certified "Complete." You may find some minor imperfections, such as light wear on the box or on certain game components.

Folklore: The Affliction pulls you into a cooperative horror and fantasy saga where a band of six heroes tries to uncover the source of an ancient evil gnawing at villages, forests and dungeons. This edition ships without miniatures: characters and creatures are represented by illustrated double-sided standees instead of plastic minis, a lighter approach that loses none of the intensity of combat through modular dungeons; optional miniatures are sold separately for anyone who wants to push the immersion further. Each story is split into chapters, so you control how long a session runs while still following one long narrative campaign.

Play as one of six playable characters, customize your archetype and abilities, then explore a world ravaged by vampirism and lycanthropy. What sets Folklore: The Affliction apart from most games in the genre is that dying is never the end. A fallen hero keeps playing as a ghost with its own ethereal powers to strike enemies from beyond the grave, keeping everyone engaged until the very last turn.

Folklore: The Affliction is for you if you love long narrative campaigns played with a group or solo, games where every choice and every fight leaves a lasting mark on the story, and dark settings full of vampires, werewolves, demons and ghosts. Fans of modular dungeons, deep character building and sessions that unfold over several evenings will find a campaign with more than 13 hours of replayable content.

On BoardGameGeek, Folklore: The Affliction holds an average rating of 7.6 out of 10 from more than 2300 votes, a strong score for a game born out of a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. This set bundles two expansions from that same backer community: the Equipment pack, which adds more than a hundred weapon and gear cards, and the Crafting and Recipes pack, which brings item crafting and recipe generation straight into the core campaign.

The game is designed by Nick Blain and Will Donovan, with dark, detailed artwork by Jason Engle, Stephen Gibson and Henning Ludvigsen. Originally published by Greenbrier Games, Folklore: The Affliction has since grown a long list of expansions, a sign of how attached its community of players has remained to its world.

The Equipment pack and Crafting and Recipes pack expansions are never played on their own: they need the Folklore: The Affliction core game to work. Good news, this set bundles them with exactly that core game, in its no-miniatures version, everything ready to play straight out of the box, for one to five players or solo.
