About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, dice and dungeon enthusiasts! If you're into the vibe of One Deck Dungeon and looking for a fresh face to tackle the dangers, the fairy Caliana is here to add a special touch. She's the sixth adventurer arriving to boost your gaming sessions, whether you're playing solo or with a partner.

Caliana brings a unique, game-changing ability: she can transform blue dice into yellow or pink dice. This means you can manipulate results in your favor, optimizing your actions and strategies to defeat the monsters and challenges that appear. Besides this dice magic, she also has a knack for healing wounds, which can be crucial for ensuring the team's survival in the tightest spots.

This expansion, which is actually part of "One Deck Dungeon: Forest of Shadows," adds a new layer of strategy and replayability. The deck-building mechanic and dice rolling remain at the heart of the game, but with Caliana, the possibilities expand. It's a great pick for those who have already mastered the base game and are seeking new challenges, or for anyone wanting to try an adventurer with a different playstyle.

Remember that, as an expansion, you'll need the base game "One Deck Dungeon" to play. And if you enjoy cooperative games with a dash of luck and plenty of tactical decisions, Caliana might be the perfect addition to your collection. Get your dice ready, choose your strategy, and let's embark on this adventure!
