About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey everyone! Ready for a breathtaking adventure? In Tempel des Schreckens, you finally reach a legendary temple brimming with gold, but beware! What seems like a treasure trove could be a deadly trap. The twist is that temple guardians are hiding among the explorers, and they're not happy about the intrusion at all. Their mission? To mislead you, convince you to open the wrong chambers, and lead you straight into a fiery trap. It's a fast-paced game, the kind you play at parties, you know? Perfect for those who enjoy bluffing and trying to figure out who's telling the truth and who's just messing with you.
The game is essentially a new take on the classic TimeBomb, but with an archaeological temple theme that adds extra charm. And the best part: it scales incredibly well for larger groups, accommodating up to 10 players! The tension is palpable because you never know who's a friend and who's a foe. Every card played, every argument made, can be the difference between leaving rich or becoming a barbecue. It's pure deduction, negotiation, and a whole lot of nerve to convince the crowd to your side. If you enjoy games that keep you on the edge of your seat, with twists and plenty of interaction, Tempel des Schreckens is a sure bet to liven up any game night.
