About the game
What you do in a play session
This is a cooperative game where you and your friends must work together to survive. Each turn, you'll use your Action Points (represented by coins) to move around the grid-based board, investigate the train's mysteries, collect useful items, and, most importantly, try to free the tormented souls of the Haints. Each Haint is unique, with their own tactics and gameplay mechanics, so expect constant challenges and spooky twists.
Vagrantsong's campaign is divided into over 20 scenarios, each presenting a new story and challenges. Along the way, you can acquire Skills and items (called 'Junk') that allow you to customize your character and adapt your playstyle. After each scenario, there will be a moment of rest to heal your character, swap cards, and prepare for the next confrontation.
Vagrantsong blends dice rolling, narrative choices, and role-playing to create an immersive and challenging experience. If you enjoy cooperative games with a strong narrative, horror elements, and the thrill of facing spooky bosses, this ghost train might be your next must-visit destination. Prepare for an unforgettable trip, but be careful not to get stuck forever!
