About the Game


Memorize the cards on the table. Pair heroes with their corresponding weapons to attack enemies and avoid traps at all costs. Traps deal damage and skip your turn. Enemies have their own attack counters that decrease with each passing turn, bringing them closer to attacking.




After every battle you visit the Merchant's Goods, where you are able to purchase new relics and consumable cards. Relics are cards with passive effects which trigger when certain conditions are met and consumables can be used to aid you in battle. Try different builds and see what works for you!




Enemies may have special abilities that can be used against you, ranging from stealing gold to spawning a bunch of skeleton cards on the table. Or, you know, destroying the relic that took you so long to acquire. Ugh, I hate slimes.




In the depths of the dungeon, in the last room, a ruthless boss will be waiting for you. The bosses can vary with each playthrough.
