About the Game

Golden Warden is a rogue-like battle game set in a dungeon generated like the Japanese board game of sugoroku.

Choose Action Cards that combine dice movement with various attacks using swords, magic, bows, bombs, and even blunderbusses. Conquer dungeons full of traps that change each time you enter.

Get upgrades, collect gold to strengthen your weapons, take down (or avoid) enemies, and aim for the depths of the dungeon to claim the treasure that Golden Warden is said to guard.

Action Cards

Choose one Action Card each turn that combines movement and attack. Choose wisely as it's what will get you out of your predicaments!

Dungeons of Tiles

The dungeons are filled with tiles containing various effects. Use the effects of the tiles to your advantage and wipe out the enemy.

Varying Playstyle

As you progress through the dungeon, you can acquire new weapons and upgrades, gradually morphing the way you play. Find the playstyle that suits you and aim for the dungeon's depths.
