Background

Each player starts with a random character, its starting item, 3 cents and 3 loot cards. On a turn a player may buy one shop item for 10 cents, attack a monster and play one loot card.

To attack, a player must roll at least the die value printed on the monster card; otherwise the monster deals the damage instead. Killing a monster gives loot or money, and bosses also give souls.

The Kickstarter campaign began on June 27, 2018 and passed its $50,000 goal within the first 1.5 hours.
