About the game
Hey there, adventurer! Ready for a mission that'll test your nerves and your luck? In Dungeon Bounty, you step into the boots of a bounty hunter sent to the mines of Altair, which have become a nightmare infested with sinister beasts. The kingdom is broke, and the king can't afford to lose these mines, so the gold is flowing for anyone brave enough to face the creatures and bring back their heads as proof.

Forget petty criminals, now your targets are monsters! Dungeon Bounty is a fast-paced, action-packed game, perfect for those who enjoy a challenge with just a standard deck of playing cards. Each turn, you flip two cards from the deck, representing the dungeon. If you draw a number card from clubs, diamonds, or spades, these become your weapons, gems, or spells. Use them to defeat the beasts that appear! The face cards (Jack, Queen, and King) are your bounties, the creatures you need to hunt. If you fail to defeat a monster, it attacks you, reducing your strength, represented by heart cards. Lose all your strength? Game over!

If you survive two full trips through the dungeon (yes, the deck gets reshuffled after the first pass!), the hunt is over. Tally up your points and see if you've earned the promised glory. With super quick playtime, it's the ideal game for anyone wanting a dose of adventure and straightforward strategy, whether you're playing solo or with friends. Let's go hunt some monsters and get rich!
