About the game
What you do in a play session
Sharpen your swords and prepare for a desperate escape in Selfish: Dungeon Edition! In this race against time and darkness, you and your fellow heroes must escape a treacherous lair. The only light left is your torch, and it's fading fast. There are three escape routes, but only one leads to freedom without a hefty price. And, of course, only the first to get out alive truly survives. It's a fierce competition through dangerous passages, where you'll face monsters like spiders, minions, and hungry dragons, but the greatest danger might be your own allies. Sabotage others' plans, keep your torch lit, and hope you don't end up as a skull in the dreaded Skull Legion. This game is pure adrenaline for fantasy, strategy, and good old-fashioned sabotage fans. Every move counts, every card played could be the difference between freedom and a dark fate. You'll need to manage your resources, overcome traps, and perhaps even roll dice to decide your destiny. If your light runs out, it's goodbye! Unless someone gives you a helping hand (or a shove towards the exit). Remember, only one escapes, so be ready to leave your friends behind. It's a fast-paced game full of twists and turns, perfect for those who enjoy a bit of strategic chaos and guaranteed laughs (or screams).
