About the game
League of Infamy is an occasionally co-operative dungeon crawler for 2-5 players in which it pays to commit dastardly deeds and partake in foul thievery — often against your own party. Join a rogue's gallery of misfits, ne'er-do-wells, and miscreants on a disgraceful mission to kidnap cute little baby drakons, steal their eggs, and viciously wipe out any irritating, goody-goody elves who try to stop your nefarious schemes. But it's not just the elves you need to keep a wary eye on. Your fellow (mis)adventurers are just as likely to betray you and steal your loot, shove you into harm's way, or just leave you in a dungeon full of unbeatable foes. As they like to say in the League of Infamy, "keep your enemies close, but keep your friends at knifepoint". —description from the publisher
