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
Trese must stop the Talagbusao from manifesting permanently in the physical world. The players must stop his ritual from engulfing the city in violence and chaos.
Case 15: A Private Collection
Trese must reveal the identity of a mysterious collector who has been kidnapping supernatural creatures. The players must stop him before his actions cause a gang war between the Aswang and the Manananggal.
Confront creatures from Philippine Mythology
Solve cases involving Aswang, Manananggal, Tikbalang, Enkanto, and other creatures from Philippine Mythology before they cause a city-wide crisis.

Gain Favors from the Underworld
Complete side quests connected to familiar characters and locations from the Trese universe like Manang Muning, the Wind Sisters, the Trident Bar, and the Armanaz Tower. To have any hope of victory, you must gain the favor of Manila’s underworld.
Featuring the art of Kajo Baldisimo
Trese Case Files will be using artwork from the original comics.
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?
