A common deck of cards. A legacy dungeon crawl.
"Cooperate to survive. Betray to win."
- ♠ Deck + jokers
- ✎ Sharpie
- ◫ Avery 18294 labels
- ⏱ 60–90 min
Your deck IS your band
Inscriptions, labels, and Glory are written on the cards themselves. Every game leaves marks the next wizard inherits.
Six bosses, one dungeon
Wizards pool their Monster cards and fight 6 sequential bosses. The wizard who lands the killing blow takes the coppers.
Cooperate. Then betray.
Spike, Foil, Snipe, and Brace let you tip the scales — or steal the kill. Tactics cost cards, not coins.
