Description
A prison break has gone bad, and now terrifying monsters are swarming up into the castle through the dungeons. Brave heroes rush into the tunnels to stop them... but will the kingdom survive? Dungeon Solitaire is a simple and addictive card game. Players must carefully place the creatures, heroes, and dungeon rooms to stop the monstrous invasion. Draw a card, place it down, and hope you don't get eaten by the oozes, tunnel goblins, and dragons that inhabit the dark. With new expansions coming, online leaderboards, and achievements, Dungeon Solitaire is a new game everytime you play it!

Quotes (from this video)
- Machina Arcana is in my top ten, an absolutely fantastic board game.
- I am intimidated because all I've heard is just how hard and difficult the game is.
- DCC RPG is not a good sword and sorcery game.
- The idea of starting out weak and progressing to like god-like status in sword and sorcery fiction is the direct opposite of how many games treat progression.
