About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an electrifying solo adventure with Dungeon Solitaire: Tomb of Four Kings! This card game, using a standard deck and a joker, throws you straight into a dark dungeon. Each turn, you'll face monsters, disarm traps, and open doors as you explore the depths of an underground labyrinth. Your mission is clear: find the treasures of four ancient kings, gather as much wealth as possible, and most importantly, get out alive! But beware, time is your enemy. If your torches run out before you escape, darkness will consume you forever. The game unfolds with a pattern-building mechanic, where you arrange cards to represent your journey. The table layout is crucial: torch cards at the top, the 'delve' area in the middle, the 'retreat' below it, and at the bottom, your treasure, hit points, and discard areas. Each turn presents a new challenge, a new fight for survival. You need to be strategic in managing your resources and ensuring luck is on your side. It's a test of skill and quick planning, perfect for those moments when you want to dive into an immersive experience without needing company.
