🎯 Objective
Survive as long as possible in the Forgotten Depths dungeon and earn as much Glory (Victory Points) as you can before your entire party dies!
👥 The Party
You control 5 founders, each with unique roles:
- Don (Scout) 🏹 - Expert at finding traps and loot
- Jamie (Warrior) ⚔️ - Frontline combatant
- Chris (Rogue) 🗡️ - Sneaky and resourceful
- Tony (Barbarian) 🪓 - Berserker fury incarnate
- Steve (Cleric) ✨ - Divine magic wielder
📦 Resources
- Weapons 🗡️ - Used for Fight action
- Armor 🛡️ - Used for Advance action
- Potions 🧪 - Used for Loot action
- Gold 💰 - Used for Trade action
⚠️ Actions (Each has 20% death chance!)
1. 🔦 Loot
Cost: 1 Potion
Select a loot card from the Loot Room, gain its resources + 1 Glory
⭐ BONUS: Each loot card has a condition (e.g., "2+ monsters defeated" or "Don lvl 2+"). If you meet the condition when looting, gain bonus Glory! A checkmark ✓ appears next to bonuses you currently qualify for.
If you have no Potions, you can Scavenge for free (1 random resource, no Glory, no bonus)
2. 🏪 Trade
Cost: 1 Gold
Purchase items from the merchant (always 1 Potion + 1 random item)
3. ⚔️ Fight
Cost: 2 Weapons
Defeat a monster and gain 5 Glory + 2 Gold
4. 💥 Advance
Cost: 2 Armor
Gain 3 Glory and randomly level up one living founder (never zombies)
5. 📈 Level Up Founders
Cost: Varies (shown on each founder's card)
Gain resources based on the founder's level and assigned resource type. Each founder produces their assigned resource type (randomized each game).
💀 ZOMBIES: Dead founders can still be leveled up to meet bonus conditions, but they don't generate supplies!
6. 🎯 Complete Challenges
Click on challenge cards to complete them. Gain Glory based on whether you meet the conditions. New challenges appear from the deck.
💀 Death & Game End
- After EVERY action, there's a 1 in 5 chance a random living party member dies
- Dead characters become "Zombies" - they can still level up but produce no resources
- The game ends when all 5 founders die (Total Party Kill)
- Try to maximize your Glory score before everyone dies!
💡 Tips
- Balance resource gathering with Glory scoring
- Watch loot card bonus conditions - timing your loot can earn extra Glory!
- Dead founders can't produce resources, so keep them alive when possible
- But you CAN still level up zombies to meet loot/challenge bonus requirements!
- Watch for challenge conditions you can meet
- You can click on challenge cards even if you can't meet them - they'll be cleared for 0 Glory and replaced with new ones
- The merchant always has 1 Potion - useful if you're running low
- Scavenging (free Loot with no Potions) can help you get back on your feet
🏆 Scoring
Your final score is your total Glory earned. Beat your best glory!
- 40+ Glory: 💪 Decent Effort
- 70+ Glory: 🏆 Heroic Run
- 100+ Glory: ⚔️ Legendary Delve!
