## Description
Imagine you and your friends forming a party of adventurers ready to storm the most dangerous dungeon in the region. The catch? While you must help each other to survive monsters and traps, only one person can walk away with the most treasure. That's exactly the vibe of Dungeon Raiders! Each player takes on a character with unique abilities, balancing necessary cooperation with individual greed.

The gameplay is snappy: you explore the dungeon by revealing cards that could be riches, deadly traps, or horrific creatures. The game utilizes simultaneous action selection, keeping everyone engaged throughout the session. You'll need to manage your hand wisely to survive, but also know exactly when to play a 'take that' card to sabotage your teammates and secure the win. The tension builds as you progress, culminating in a final showdown against a colossal and terrifying boss monster.

One key detail: if you're playing the latest version, you can breathe easy! The injury system has been overhauled to prevent players from sitting out the rest of the game. Injuries now accumulate differently, removing early player elimination. Additionally, the dungeon setup is much smoother thanks to a dedicated dungeon deck, eliminating the confusion of shuffling face-up and face-down cards. It's a light, fast-paced card game with the perfect amount of betrayal, ideal for those who want the adrenaline of an RPG without needing a Game Master or hours of rule-reading. Will you emerge as the legend of the dungeon, or just another skeleton in the hallway?

### Can I play with any number of people?
The game supports 3 to 5 players. It's ideal for small groups who enjoy direct interaction.

### How long does a game take?
Usually between 20 and 60 minutes, depending on the group size and how much you decide to fight each other.
