Cutthroat Caverns
|
"Without teamwork, you will never survive. Without betrayal, you'll never win."
Cutthroat Caverns is played over 9 turns, each with a random encounter. Essentially a game of 'kill stealing'. Each round, any monster encountered will have a prestige value of 1 through 6. The player that successfully jockeys for position and lands the killing blow gets the prestige value for the encounter. The player with the most prestige after the 9 encounters is the winner. If the players do not survive all 9 encounters, no one wins the game.
Other games have tried to bring the RPG dungeon 'experience' to a deck of cards and have succeeded thematically and mechanically. Cutthroat Caverns does so on an emotional level.
You will be transported to that fateful day, as a young idealistic RPG player with visions of Tolkien's fellowship dancing in your head, when you suddenly come to the horrible realization that the other players may pose more of a threat than the creatures themselves. The feeling of that moment is sustained and heightened all through gameplay. A unique combination of cooperative game play and opportunistic backstabbing.
Genre-bending. Dice-less.
The totally immersive feel of a RPG
in a simple, elegant card game.
A perfect balance of cooperative gameplay and back-stabbing goodness.
An artifact of untold power lies in your hands. To claim it, you must escape the caverns alive. No less than nine horrific beasts stand in your way - that, and the greed of the other players.
In this game of kill-stealing, you decide whether to swing for a whopping 50 points of damage - or hold back, awaiting a more opportune time to strike. Only the final blow matters if you are to score the kill. Hold back or sabotage other's plans too much - and the entire party will die, without a winner.
Okay, that's what it says on the box... what's it really like?
Cutthroat Caverns is truly unique. While most definitely a highly interactive card game and very easy to play, it requires the strategic thinking of a board game. And, for some uncanny reason, the game will make you FEEL like you are in the middle of a classic dungeon crawl, even though table talk is about as much roleplaying as you are likely to do. That all said, it has proven to have a very broad appeal with gamers across several genres.
The real joy is the delicate balance between helping the party (and staying alive) vs working towards your own selfish goals (and risking the welfare of everyone). There are no dice. Each Turn, you will choose how much damage you are willing to do to the monster- or won't do - as you jockey for position to land the killing blow. And when characters can make that kind of decision, things get very funny & very deadly - very quickly.
With 25 encounters, all requiring a different group strategy and seperate individual strategy, game play is always challenging. Only 9 random encounters will be used in any game, so the experience is always different. Plus, the first expansion is already complete with 15 new, tougher encounters and a whole new 'character enhancing' game mechanic to keep people coming back.

Cutthroat Caverns: Relics & Ruins
Sammlerstück / Rarität
Relics and Ruin is the second expansion to Cutthroat Caverns and what an expansion it is! First, let me highlight the fact that several of the Encounters and the inspiration for the Event Deck came from you, the fans, in our Create an Encounter Contest. Sure, we beat 'em into shape, but these amazingly compelling encounters get right at the heart of what players wanted - because players created them. And as you will see, they are deadlier than ever - with many new and unique ways to challenge pl... (vollständige Beschreibung)
