It’s time for another donation drive. A cooperative…ish board game… at least, until doom befalls Baldur’s Gate and the traitor surfaces.
Evil stalks the streets of Baldur’s Gate, but so do mighty heroes like Boo and I! Explore the streets, buildings, and sewers of Baldur’s Gate and uncover the evil plans of evil cultists and kick their evil behinds! But keep an eye on the people you travel with. Not everyone in Baldur’s Gate is as trustworthy as Minsc and Boo! Haha! If you uncover a traitor in your midst we will direct Boo straight at their eyes!
Donate $9.98 (or multiples thereof) for a chance to win this prize. We’ll run this donation drive until 5:00pm PST.
