Prepare to face the darkest depths of the Nightmare of Mensis! Mergo’s Loft, that sinister tower rising in the heart of the nightmare, hides an unfathomable mystery at its peak: Mergo himself. Who or what he is, is beyond human comprehension, but his deadly guardians will give no quarter to anyone who dares approach. This expansion introduces a new campaign that challenges you to first find a way into this unholy place and, once inside, uncover how to defeat the unbeatable.
As is standard for Bloodborne: The Board Game, expect a tense and challenging cooperative experience. You and your friends, controlling hunters with unique abilities, will need to masterfully manage your card hands, build your decks, and utilize the modular board to navigate dangerous environments. The campaign draws you into an engaging narrative, where every decision matters and the threat of enemies is constant. Language dependency is moderate, so having a translated spreadsheet or cards in your language will greatly facilitate immersion in this gothic horror journey. If you already enjoy the base game and crave more challenges with that video game flavor, this expansion is a perfect fit to continue your hunt.

Do I need the base game to play Mergo's Loft?
Yes, absolutely! Mergo's Loft is an expansion and requires all the components from the Bloodborne: The Board Game base game to be played.
How long does a session of this new campaign take?
The full campaign can take multiple sessions, but each individual game session, focused on a scenario or part of the campaign, usually lasts between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the group's experience.
Is it much harder than the base game?
The expansion introduces new challenges and enemies, maintaining the high difficulty level that Bloodborne fans expect. Prepare for a good challenge!
How many players can participate?
Just like the base game, Mergo's Loft can be played by 1 to 4 players in cooperative mode.
Is translating the cards essential?
Language dependency is moderate. While it's possible to play with the original cards and a translated spreadsheet, having the cards translated (either via a fan kit or a future official release) greatly enhances immersion and game flow.
What are the main new features in this expansion?
The expansion introduces a new campaign, new enemies, new challenges, and deepens the narrative and tactical experience of the base game, focusing on an iconic location from the video game.
