About the game
What you do in a play session
Each game, you build an 80-card deck by shuffling two of the four available thematic half-decks – Drow, Dragons, Demons, and Elementals – which ensures insane replayability! During the game, you use influence to recruit new minions from a central marketplace, which go to your discard pile and eventually into your deck. Power, the other vital resource, allows you to place troops on the game board, expand your dominion across the Underdark map, manipulate events, and, of course, assassinate your rivals' troops.
Victory points are earned by controlling sites, recruiting powerful minions, promoting them to your inner circle, and eliminating enemy forces. Whoever has the most points at the end is crowned the true tyrant of the Underdark! It's a strategic and challenging experience in the D&D universe, where cunning and brutality are your best allies.
