Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. LD. Another coop game with a really fresh theme and campaign that reminds of dungeon crawlers. Essentially a boss battler, as almost everything you do each round is fighting a boss. On the downside - rules are poorly written, and there are a lot of small rules to track, not all rules combinations/edge cases are described, so you are left guessing. "Never played a game of this correctly". Gets repetitive after 8-10 plays? No meaningful upgrades over the course of the game?

  2. 9 out of 10

    Really fun game that balances the feeling of difficulty without making you feel hopeless. The “story” doesn’t necessarily flow from scenario to scenario but this doesn’t detract much overall. Playing with someone willing to add voice and sound effects can take it up another notch in fun.

  3. 6 out of 10

    Played 3 times till now with 4 players. It's okay, but too long, with very long downtimes between the player turns. Also the texts and rules are quite difficult to understand and there are a lot of little fiddly rules. Maybe it's just because we are no native speakers but other english games were never a problem for us.

You trainhop aboard the Silver Ferryman, chasin’ a dream or runnin’ from the past. What you find is a welcomin’ hand – white glove, stretched skin… and a fiddle player in the distance, playin’ a tune that’s awfully inviting. Makes you never wanna leave.

In Vagrantsong, a cooperative and story-driven boss battler, you will take on the role of a Vagrant trapped on a supernatural ghost train. Face off against ghosts lingering on the train (called Haints), adjust your playstyle with Skills and Junk acquired along the way, and uncover the secrets of the Silver Ferryman in this spooky and challenging adventure.

In each of the 20+ Scenarios in Vagrantsong’s campaign, players will take turns spending their 3 Coins to take actions, such as: moving around the train board, investigating the unknown, and rummaging for items that might help them get out of a tight spot. Additionally, players can spend their Coins on more exclusive actions to remind a Haint of their lost Humanity, all in the hopes of freeing the spirit from the ghost train’s bone-chilling grip, and winning the Scenario in the process. But be careful! Each Haint has their own bag of tricks and gameplay mechanics. They will stop at nothing to make sure that the players lose all of their Humanity and stay aboard forever.

After each Scenario, players will have a moment to rest, allowing them the opportunity to change out their Skill and Junk cards, heal their Vagrant, and prepare for their next encounter aboard the Silver Ferryman.
