Bristol 1350

“Mechanically slight but brilliantly tuned, it offers a refined twist on the social deduction genre that is a perfect hair-shirt fit for its theme.”

“We just played this game for the first time tonight and. WHAT. A. BLAST. we were all pushing each other out of carts, throwing each other to the plague rats, and rolling with laughter. It was the most fun I have had playing a game in a while.”

“Overall, I found Bristol 1350 very playable and it has seen its turn at our table many times since we first played it, making it GeekDad Approved and worthy of a place on your bookshelf and game table!”

“More than 30,000 copies of the game have been sold since its release in March 2021.”

“I'm a history professor at Northwest University in the Seattle area … The students in my Global History of Disease class played it today to end our unit on the Black Death and it was a huge hit! The mechanics of the game really get students into the mindset of suspicion, doubt, and paranoia that marked the plague experience… in a fun way, of course!”

“The beautiful presentation, lithe footprint and cunning faux-hardback box are simply the icing on a particularly sinister cake.”

“I purchased the game about 3 years ago, and it had very quickly become my go-to game for any large group setting. I've taken it to board game nights with friends, played it with folks at my workplace, and even got some of them to purchase their own set to spread the fun (and maybe the plague hehe)!”

“Played this game on Friday with some friends! What an awesome game! Perfect for newbies and gamers alike! Super high quality components!”

“We had heard so much hype about Bristol 1350 from the awesome @boardgamebbq podcast about how much fun this game was and yet we were still blown away by just how much we enjoyed it. We played with James' family and immediately after the first game they were ready for round two!”

“Can't get enough of pandemics? Take a step back in time to Black Death infected Bristol, England, for some back-stabbing fun trying to escape the city.”

“I'm president of the University of Bristol's Gamesoc, which is a society for those who enjoy board games and other tabletop pursuits… We recently picked up a copy of Bristol 1350 and have had a blast with that over our last few regular meets!”

“I just did a short staycation in Bristol and when shopping in a couple of board game stores (rules of play and excelsior) both stores had your game and rop had a little write up about it being a store favourite.”

“Bristol 1350 was launched during lockdown and raised almost $1m (£726,705), exceeding its initial target of $30,000 (£25,318).”

“Bristol 1350 turned out to be a fun social deduction and bluffing game that's great to play with big groups.”

“The game comes with beautiful playmat and incredible components that definitely help a lot to get immersed in the game.”

“Bristol 1350 has quickly become a favourite that gathers no dust between sessions.”

“The potential for perfidy is set to eleven.”

“We like it the most out of all 4 Dark Cities games. Our favorite used to be Salem but now it's definitely Bristol. There are more elements to keep in mind and you have more options for bluffing, especially with the Alms expansion.”

“This game of social deduction with a hidden traitor mechanism is incredibly engaging within that entire player range.”

“As an infected passenger, I love the thrill of spreading my symptoms to my fellow cart riders (while wielding plausible deniability).”

“Bristol contains that right balance of incentives and clues to give both sides a chance of deducing secret diagnoses and attaining objectives.”

“We sat down to play after dinner and we are hooked! Excellent game to play with a large group. Plenty of chances for foul play and general meanness. … My advice, don't infect your wife with the plague!!”

“I appreciate the compact size of the game. It's refreshing to see a great game that does not needlessly command a large shelf space.”

“I recommend this game to people who enjoy simple dice rolling games, particularly for people who enjoy solo and party games.”
