## Description
Beneath ancient ruins lies a cursed crypt waiting for the brave — or foolish — enough to explore it. The Crypt is a tactical Print & Play dungeon crawler where you and friends control adventurers surviving horrors in claustrophobic halls. The game blends modular exploration (you place tiles as you go), dice-based combat, and tense resource management. Every turn demands tough calls: push forward to loot treasures or fall back to conserve energy? Use your special ability now or save it for the final boss? The dungeon shifts constantly, so don't expect to memorize routes. To win, the group must locate the exit portal after confronting the deepest chamber's threat. Pro tip: never underestimate dark corners... they usually hide more than giant spiders.
