What to Expect
This dungeon-crawling micro deck-builder has you explore rooms, reveal monsters, and collect treasures. Each turn you play five cards for movement, strength, or energy. Tactical hand management is key as you defeat monsters and expand your deck with new swords and items. The goal is to collect the most gold by the end of the dungeon or after defeating the boss.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed for 1 to 2 players, including solo play, this game targets experienced players aged 13 and up who enjoy tactical deckbuilding within a fantasy setting. Game duration varies and requires strategic thinking and focus.
How It Works
You use hand management to play five cards each round for movement, combat, or energy. Movement advances you deeper into the dungeon to reveal new rooms and monsters. Strength cards let you defeat monsters, while energy cards buy new equipment and swords that enhance your deck and tactical options.
