About This Game

Luck of the dice. Reading the cards. No mercy for friends.

One to four explorers take on the dungeon known as the Ark. Roll the dice to advance, assign your rolls to cards to fight monsters, and fight over the crystals.

You'll join forces against the boss, but in the end only the explorer with the highest Total Assets wins. For board game fans, deckbuilding fans, and anyone who loves game night with friends.

Which card gets that roll?

In battle, you assign your rolled dice to weapon, armor, and skill cards. Spend a high roll on attack, or put it into armor to hold out? Your opponent's cards and their order stay hidden until you clash.

Build your own way to fight with jobs and cards

Collect cards from merchants and treasure chests to build around your job and dice. At the shop, weigh discounted cards against the Mana you have on hand. Knights rely on weapons and armor, Thieves on poison and piercing attacks, and Archers on powering up their arrows. Your whole deck is available in battle.

Control crystals and build up Mana

Defeat an unclaimed crystal to take control of it. Income and tolls build up as savings, and controlling an entire area doubles your income. Will you return to collect your savings or press on for another crystal? A successful raid takes the crystal and its savings.

Raids, traps, and becoming a demon

Rob merchants, lay traps, and challenge other explorers to take their Mana or cards. But raiding makes you WANTED, shutting you out of shops, among other penalties. An explorer whose Mana stays negative turn after turn becomes a demon and fights back with a special deck and dice.

Join forces against the boss. Fight over the rewards.

Charge FATE with actions that suit your style, and save game-changers like dice manipulation for the crucial moment. After the set number of turns, everyone takes on the boss, and rewards are shared by contributions such as damage and healing. Finally, Mana, crystals, treasures, and Ark Deeds are added up to decide the rankings.

A growing map and a race for the highest Total Assets

New areas open as the adventure unfolds, giving you more routes to explore. Visit merchants, open treasure chests, and navigate traps as you build your deck. When the match ends, review the standings, how each player’s assets changed, and who contributed in boss battles.
