## Description
Ever wondered if that standard deck of cards in your drawer could become a dangerous dungeon full of mysteries? That's exactly what Dungeon Wilds does! The game takes the essence of classics like Rummy and blends it with the tension of rogue-lite games, creating an experience where death isn't the end, but rather a part of the storytelling. You and your partner (or playing solo) must cooperate to survive hostile environments, exploring every floor of the dungeon while trying not to get annihilated in the process.

The gameplay revolves around a simplified trick-taking mechanic. The goal here isn't just to win the round, but to score enough points to reveal the mysterious cards hidden within the dungeon. Once those cards are revealed, the game shifts: you'll need to strategically play them to clear the floor and advance to even more lethal areas. It's the kind of game where every card played can be the difference between glory or total defeat.

To give your survival chances a boost, you'll encounter a creepy shopkeeper along the way. He sells items that can save your skin, but remember: nothing comes for free in Dungeon Wilds. The progression is gradual, and the 'just one more try' feeling is very strong, typical for those who love exploring dungeons and facing escalating challenges. If you like the idea of turning simple components into a complex fantasy adventure, this game is a perfect fit. Get your dice ready, organize your cards, and try not to die on the very first floor, because the Dungeon Wilds has no mercy for anyone!
