Diabolical Dungeons

What is Diabolical Dungeons

This is a fantasy card game in which players each take on the role of a fantasy adventurer (cleric, ranger, rogue, warrior, or wizard) who starts the game with a randomly selected personality trait, personal motivation, and end goal.

All adventurers are part of a party, and they work cooperatively to reach the Lair Card (where the chosen adventure's Boss Monster is revealed). If the party defeats the boss, they win, and gain an Epic Treasure Card. Otherwise, they die and lose the game.

The objective of the Solo version of the game is to accomplish your character's End Goal before s/he becomes too cowardly, despairing, mad, reviled, or too dead to continue adventuring.

Different End Goals include: Becoming Accomplished (in a certain discipline or skill), becoming Powerful, being Revered as a god, becoming Renowned (for performing feats), or by attaining great Wealth.
