Cave Evil

SHADOWFLAME AND BOTTOMLESS PIT

In labyrinthine cities deeply underground the dead have been buried, but the Shadow Flame has invoked them to evil new life, under the reign of the Emperor of Eternal Evil.

As is to be expected from this introduction, Cave Evil is an evil game of brutal elimination. Each player is an ancient Undead Necromancer who wants to harness the powers of the Bottomless Pit, source of the Endless Shadow. All necromancers use Metal, Gore and Shadow Flame to invoke their minions. Those minions are then used to dig tunnels and excavate creatures, resources and valuable ancient items. Creatures can be dominated by bribing and hiring or by creating them from Gore and Dead or summoning them from other dimensions.

Cave Evil is played in rounds which are called cycles. In each cycle each player has one turn - he draws cards from one of the decks, item spell, resource or creature. Those cards are used to summon or create creatures, items or spells and then to control each of his units of invoked minions and their arsenal of weapons.

Only one player’s necromancer can subdue and harness the Shadow Flame, opposing necromancers must be defeated in battle or one must invade their lair and destroy the Chthonic Crystal. But at the very end the necromancer must face the Emperor of Eternal Evil and defeat Ultimate Evil.

Cave Evil is a Dungeon Crawl in the deepest and darkest manifestation, components, topic and atmosphere are black, evil and dark; mechanisms are well-known and very well combined - if you are bored nowadays by zombies, you can can prove yourself and and your Dark Side against the Emperor of Eternal Evil.
