What to Expect

You experience a fast-paced dungeon crawling micro deck builder. With five cards in hand, you manage movement, strength, and energy to explore rooms, defeat monsters, and collect treasure. As you delve deeper, you remember hidden loot and defeated foes, aiming to gather the most gold. The game ends once the dungeon is fully explored or the boss is defeated.

Who Is This Game For?

Designed for 1 to 2 players, this game lasts about 25 minutes, perfect for quick sessions. It's aimed at hobby gamers who enjoy strategic deckbuilding and hand management. Prior experience with deckbuilders helps but is not mandatory due to the short playtime.

How It Works

100 Swords uses deck, bag, and pool building mechanics to expand your deck as you play. You manage your hand of five cards each round to allocate movement, strength for battling monsters, or energy to acquire new gear. Moving through the dungeon reveals new rooms and encounters while you tactically manage resources to maximize treasure collection.
