## Description
Get ready for a dark and intense survival game! In Claustrophobia 1643, you and a friend will face off in tight catacombs, controlling completely different factions. One of you commands a small group of brave, but outnumbered, humans, each with their special abilities. The other player takes on an army of relentless demons, more numerous and thirsty for souls. It's a totally asymmetric setup: humans are individually stronger, but demons have the numbers advantage. Prepare for fast-paced tactical combat, where dice rolls dictate the pace of actions and multi-use cards add that extra layer of strategy. The board is modular, ensuring that each dive into the depths is a new experience. The objective? Complete missions that vary with each scenario, whether it's escaping the underground hell or closing an evil portal, while the opponent tries to stop you at all costs. It's a straightforward game with few rules, but it delivers escalating tension until the climax. Perfect for those who enjoy thematic games with miniatures and a good dose of adrenaline, all within an hour and a half of gameplay. The complexity is low, with the focus on immersion and the tough decisions you'll have to make to survive or to annihilate the invaders.
