About the game

What you do in a play session

Tomb throws you straight into a dungeon full of dangers and treasures, no fluff. You assemble a team of fearless adventurers and set off to explore the Goldenaxe Catacombs, facing monsters, traps, and even other players who might become rivals in the quest for glory and riches. The modular board ensures every game is unique, and the secret deployment mechanic adds a layer of strategy and surprise. Dice rolls decide the battles, so get ready to cheer for your heroes (or curse the dice when they betray you). And the best part: all this without the typical RPG setup hassle. It's guaranteed action!
