About the game
Description from the designer: A solitaire dungeon crawler where the player wants to accumulate as much gold as possible. Player will venture through the dungeon and explore the level by revealing dungeon cards 1 by 1. Danger such as monsters, darkness cards and nasty events awaits the player, but do not lose hope because there will be items to aid the player through the adventure as well. The game ends when the player escapes the dungeon alive and gold will be calculated as score. Note: Player will have to prepare d20 and d6 dice themselves. The rules and the print&play version can be downloaded for free.
