What to Expect
Play an adventurer exploring a doomed city, navigating randomly generated alleys card by card. The game mixes Dice Rolling and Push-Your-Luck decisions, includes a campaign and lets you manage resources and level up skills. Content is compatible with the Mini Rogue base game and supports solo, cooperative (2–3 players) and competitive modes (with the Overlord module).
Who Is This Game For?
Aimed at hobby gamers and fans of dungeon-crawlers, especially owners of Mini Rogue. Minimum age 12 and about 60 minutes per session — suitable for dedicated game nights rather than quick filler. Familiarity with dice and push-your-luck mechanics is beneficial; solitaire rules are included.
How It Works
The Council is a standalone expansion for Mini Rogue using mechanics like Dice Rolling, Push Your Luck and Cooperative Game. You reveal cards to generate alleyways, face encounters, and resolve checks using dice; risk management steers success. The product contains a campaign and multiple play modes: solo, competitive (Overlord module) and cooperative for two to three players.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Paolo Di Stefano and Gabriel Gendron, The Council can be played with or without the Mini Rogue base game. Notable is its compatibility with the base game, multiple modes (solo, coop, competitive via Overlord) and a campaign that follows the base game's campaign.
Pro
- Playable standalone yet compatible with the Mini Rogue base game
- Multiple modes: solo, cooperative and competitive (Overlord module)
- Campaign content that continues from the base game
- Blends Dice Rolling with Push-Your-Luck mechanics
Contra
- Not ideal as a pure beginner game — mechanics expect some experience
- Session length (~60 minutes) can add up over a campaign
Setting & atmosphere
Fantasy-medieval setting: you explore a doomed city controlled by a power-crazed regent. Exploration proceeds alley by alley through dark, randomly generated streets.
