About the game

What you do in a play session

League of Infamy is a semi-cooperative dungeon crawler where betrayal and theft are encouraged — even against your own party! You control a band of misfits and scoundrels on disgraceful missions like kidnapping baby drakons or stealing eggs, while fighting off do-gooder elves. But watch out: your 'allies' might stab you in the back at any moment to keep the loot. With dice rolling, traitor mechanics, and a dash of dark humor, the game rewards those who are cleverest (and sneakiest). As the League's motto goes: 'Keep your enemies close, and your friends even closer... to your knife.'
