About the game
In the cold and dark dungeons, once mines drilled in the heart of the mountain, dwell the fearsome Orcs and other perverse vermin. Hidden among their secret chambers is a treasure room, guarded by a dragon. The objective of the game is to find the room and kill the fabulous animal, but you must do it quickly, since the Orcs have raised the alarm and soon numerous enemies will arrive. When the dragon dies, the game ends. Dungeon Lite, Orcs and Knights is a cooperative game of survival for 1 to 4 players, brave fighters that thanks to the collaboration between them, the improvement of their equipment and the management of the actions, will reach the victory. During their adventure they will have to explore the dungeon, fight against orcs and other enemies, find treasures and equipment and solve their mission. During the round, players receive two action cards and events are resolved. After that players can perform their actions: move, attack, explore, find items and treasures. —description from the publisher
