About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to descend into the dungeon! Micro Chapbook RPG: The Card Game is the card-based version of the popular solo RPG, and now you can invite up to three friends to join the adventure. The mission is clear: face monsters, dodge treacherous traps, and explore treasure-filled caverns. But beware, greed can take hold! You can choose to be a generous hero, sharing the gold with your party and becoming a legend. Or, perhaps, the temptation of loot proves too strong, leading you to sabotage your companions and leave the dungeon alone, with a full purse. This adaptation brings the thrill of a dungeon crawler to your table quickly and enjoyably, whether you're playing solo or cooperatively. And the icing on the cake? The dungeon cards can be used to enhance your original Micro Chapbook Adventures sessions, creating fresh and challenging adventure layouts every time. It's a perfect game for those who enjoy tabletop RPGs but want something more straightforward and portable, or for existing fans of the series looking to expand their possibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions

How many players can join?

The game is designed for 1 to 4 players, so you can enjoy it solo or gather your friends.

How long does a game session typically last?

A typical session takes about 60 minutes, making it a good fit for a game night.

Do I need extensive RPG knowledge to play?

Not necessarily! While it's based on an RPG, the rules are adapted to be more straightforward and accessible, even for those new to RPGs.

What comes in the box? Is it a complete board game?

This is a 'Print & Play' game. You'll need to print the cards and other components yourself at home. It's not a traditional board game with pre-made physical pieces.

Is it a cooperative or competitive game?

It can be played either cooperatively, where everyone works together against the dungeon, or competitively, where each player pursues their own interests (and treasures!).

Do I need to know English to play?

Yes, there's a moderate language dependency. It's recommended to have a translated spreadsheet or translated cards to make the most of the experience, especially if you're not fluent in English.
