Ready for an infernal adventure? In "The Devil By Your Side", you make a deal with the devil and, naturally, regret it. Now, the only way out is to help demons recover lost sins to get your soul back. Just be careful not to get too accustomed to hell's heat, because the longer you stay, the harder it is to leave! This solo game is a "print and play" (PnP) experience, so you'll need a game board (the Circles of Hell, which you print yourself), four dice, a pen, and a meeple to mark your path. The gameplay kicks off with you setting one of six objectives to please the demons. Then, each round, the action gets intense: you roll four dice and use the results to move, collect items, cleanse sins, or even craft items and transform sins to fulfill your missions. But keep an eye on the clock! If you take too long, your escape plan might go up in smoke. It's a quick game with low language dependency, perfect for those who enjoy a fast challenge and have a DIY spirit. ## FAQ ### How many players can participate?
