Assault on Doomrock

amusing adventures with random heroes

Cooperative adventures in a comedian fantasy world. The adventure already starts with the selection of your hero, you combine them randomly from cards, so you might end um with a Frustrated Mage or a Stinky Hero. And because that is a lot of fun, our hero then must cope with a randomly drawn setting.

And then the heroes begin their search for gold and ridiculous items and acquire crazy abilities. In the course of this quest you must survive three encounters, aiming to survive the third epic boss encounter.

The so-called Adventure Map is made up of a row of three cards and a draw pile. The heroes travel across this map as a group and actions cost time; you can travel, visit a location, explore an area or venture forth to another part of the map, drawn from the pile, the left-most part of the map is discarded. Heroes can pay money to level up, that is, acquire new abilities to go level with their mates in the group. Acquired items are placed into a common pool and heroes can trade them, equip them or de-equip.

After each adventure section you must survive a battle on the basis of rather copious rules, you roll dice, activate minions, activate the enemy Boss, your heroes use abilities and finally the battle field is cleared up. You win if you survive the last confrontation and you lose when the combat points drop to zero or Doomrock is not found before you run out of time.

Underneath all the humor on cards and in illustrations a well-made nice dungeon crawl is hiding, with a very interesting combat mechanism – you roll dice and assign those dice to ability cards of your hero. Fun for experienced players!
