In Blasphemous - the Board Game, players will take on the
role of Penitents, warrior priests devoted to the saints and the
wonders enacted by the Miracle, the higher being whose will
shaped the lands of Cvstodia.
In each game, Penitents will embark on a Pilgrimage, a
unique story that will lead them to uncover the secrets of
Cvstodia, its inhabitants, and the abominations born of the
Church of the Miracle. Facing dangers and terrible enemies,
the Penitents will have to work together to complete the Pil-
grimage, but only one of them will succeed in the final intent
and obtain the status of Saint thus winning the game, while
the others will drown in a sea of affliction and repentance,
cursed by the Miracle itself.

The 10-sided Die, referred to as d10 in the game, is used
when Penitents face Stat Tests (see Breviary - Stat Tests) or
to determine some random aspects of the game.
The 100-sided Die, referred to as d100 in the game, must
always be rolled along with the d10 to obtain a number be-
tween 01 and 100, and is used for Exploration Rolls (see
Breviary - Exploration - Reading Tomes).
The result 100 is obtained when the d100 gets the result 00
and the d10 gets the result 0.

The Penitents, Enemies and Nemesis that appear in the game
are represented by Models. The Model of each Penitent used
during the game is docked to a Base of the color of the player Penitent Base

 The game uses these cubes to keep track of different elements
during the game. Each player has 20 Player Cubes of their
color, while the 5 (golden) Rage Cubes are used to keep track
of the Enemies’ Rage value on the Miracle Board (see Brevia-
ry - Rage).

Each player has a Penitent Token of their player color. This

token is used to mark on the Map the Penitent’s location when
their model is moved to the Arena (see Breviary - Confron-
tation) and may be used by other Effects during the game.

The Sunset Token is given to the player who will be first to

play their Turn during the game, and it acts as a reminder that
before that player’s next Turn there must be a Sunset Phase
(see p. 22).

The Penitent Board allows the player to keep track of their

Penitent’s status as well as Resources (see Breviary - Re-
B
sources) gathered throughout the game. A Penitent Board
displays the following information: E C

Each player has a Bile Flask Token to keep in the designated

slot on their Penitent Board. This token has a full and an
empty side, and is used through the Consume Maneuvre (see
Breviary - Consume).

These tokens are divided into five groups, each displaying a

peculiar color and symbol: key, bone, herb, paper and rosary.
Each group contains 6 tokens: a Quest Token only display-
ing the group color, and 5 Objective Tokens displaying their
peculiar symbol on one side and a letter on the other (see Quest Token Objective
Breviary - Public Quest Cards, Quest Tokens and how to use Tokens
them).

These tokens represent the Penitent’s guilt and impose on

them a series of negative Effects (see Breviary - Guilt).

These books describe the events the Penitents may face

when exploring Cvstodia or a specific Area. The Tome of
Cvstodia is used in all games, while the others are included
in the game based on the Pilgrimage that was chosen.

This object allows you to keep the Advanced Dice Sides in
