## Description
Ever felt that thrill of playing a video game 'roguelike', where every run is different and death is just a lesson for the next attempt? One Deck Dungeon brings that exact vibe to the tabletop. You take control of an adventurer starting from scratch, fighting for survival in a perilous dungeon where dice luck and character-building strategy go hand in hand.

The heart of the game lies in its unique deck. Every card you encounter represents a challenge, but here's the twist: the same card that tries to take you down is also your reward if you prevail. When you defeat an enemy, you decide whether that card becomes experience to level up, a useful item for your inventory, or a new skill. You literally 'tuck' the card under your character sheet, visually building your hero's progression as you push forward.

Don't let the compact format fool you. The deeper you delve into the dungeon, the faster the difficulty scales. The game tests your limits and demands careful resource management, as a single mistake can be fatal. If you have the grit and strategy to reach the end, you'll face the final Boss in an epic battle to cement your status as a legend. It's a fast-paced, tense, and highly rewarding experience, perfect for those who love the feeling of progression and the challenge of overcoming escalating odds. Whether playing solo or cooperating with a friend, the tension of rolling the dice to see if that critical hit will save your skin is what drives the experience.
