About the game
Lord of Loot is a cooperative family-friendly fantasy board game. Explore a vast land filled with treasures, powerful weapons, and dangerous monsters. Level up your hero, master magic, and cooperate with your party of heroes to complete daring quests and earn epic rewards. Players take their turns alternating with the monsters. Our heroes use their 4 actions per turn to add land tiles to the map, draw loot from loot bags or fight with monsters. Monster fights are using attack and defense dice - which get stronger with better weapons. Your party of Heroes must defeat the evil end Bosses before they grow too powerful. The time you have is represented by the Monster card deck running out. But it’s not as simple as charging in swords blazing! To face the end Bosses, you’ll first need to complete their unique quests. The Heroes win once they have defeated all Bosses. The Heroes lose if you run out of Monster cards or if Heroes get knocked out more than two times. —description from the publisher
