Announcing: Trese Case Files

Hi! This is Nico of Balangay Entertainment. We’re excited to announce our new game…

This is the official boardgame based on the best-selling comic by Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo.

Trese Case Files: War and Chaos is a cooperative board game for 1-5 players. You will play as the characters from Trese as they protect Metro Manila from villains from the comic. Players will need to work together to investigate cases, defeat monsters, gain favors, and thwart the mastermind’s diabolical scheme.

*Note: We are still in production so images of the game, logo, and artwork do not reflect the final presentation of the game.

The Game

Play as Trese Characters

Play as either Alexandra Trese, Basilio, Crispin, Maliksi or Capt. Guerero. Each character has their own strengths, weaknesses, and abilities that contribute to your team’s strategy.

One Game, Many Stories

Before each game, the players must choose a storyline they would want to play. So far, there are two scenarios based on Cases from the comic.

Case 13: An Act of War

Expandable Content

The game is designed so that new scenarios, characters, cases, and other content, can easily be added.

More Characters

Want to play as the Trese siblings? Or Verdugo’s Squad? We can add them through expansions.

New Scenarios

Explore the Trese universe crafted by Budjette and Kajo. So far, two scenarios have been designed based on actual storylines from the Trese comic but we plan to add new scenarios based on Trese’s other adventures.

Monsters from every Nightmare

Philippine Folklore contains a myriad of supernatural creatures and horrors. Which one will we add for you to face off against next?
