## Description
Your adventuring party is gone, and now it's just you against the world (or at least a horde of monsters) in Griphold Tower! Picture this: you, a lone adventurer, surrounded with nowhere to run. Your only choice is to turn and fight. And that's when you see it: the legendary Griphold Tower, a place where heroes of the past made their last stand. Who knows, maybe your story will become part of the legend too?

In Griphold Tower, you're in the top room of this ancient tower, and the mission is clear: survive five waves of monsters coming through the only entrance. To do this, you'll use all your character's strength and unique abilities. Each wave is a challenge, and the game unfolds entirely in your hand, using just 18 cards. Forget tables and extra components; your palm is the stage! But don't be fooled, language dependency can be a factor, so be prepared with a translated spreadsheet or cards. In the end, a final boss awaits you, a challenge that demands creativity and every ounce of your strategy to defeat. It's a 'push your luck' solo game where every decision counts towards you emerging as the tower's hero.
