Choose your character and explore the dungeon in search of treasure and glory. Dodge traps, discover secret doors, and defeat various creatures... Will you succeed? TPK is a cooperative game where you must rely on the abilities of all characters if you want to escape the dungeon alive and collect as many treasures as possible. GAME OBJECTIVE You must work together to escape the dungeon alive and with as many treasure cards as possible. On your turn, you must choose one of your cards to advance in the dungeon, or pass if you think another player has a better card for that threat. Don't make mistakes, because if your turn comes around and no one has been able to play a correct card, you will all be defeated and lose the game. Players will have a character sheet visible so other players can see their abilities. Do you dare to traverse the 7 levels of this dungeon? —description from the publisher
