About the game
Ohio Bob is on the track of the Kachapacha amulet. He has just discovered the entrance to the temple... Will he be able to explore the three levels of the temple before running out of supplies? Will he find the hidden gems that will allow him to deactivate the terrible trap protecting the amulet? In Ohio Bob, play as a great adventurer trying to discover an ancient amulet (that of course, belongs in a museum). A concise dungeon crawler with two different temples to explore, Ohio Bob is reminiscent of vintage video games. Cards are double sided - either a tool/amulet or a part of the temple. Players must juggle collecting tools with exploring the temple. If the player makes it through all 3 floors of the temple, and unlock the hidden amulet ( before losing all his health), he wins! This microgame version by Matagot only supports solo play, while the Pixel series version by Grail games allows to play the game in solo or co-op. Components are also slightly different: you'l need a meeple or anything that could be used as a token(even a coin) to simulate Ohio Bob in this microgame version.
