Catacombs

Catacombs is an award-winning cooperative board game set in the fantasy world of Cimathue. You need skill and dexterity to master this fast-paced game.

One player (the Enemy) commands an army of monsters while the others choose from six brave heroes who embark on a quest to save the city of Stormtryne from the threat that lurks in the catacombs below. As the heroes explore, they must use their abilities, purchase items, and recruit allies to help them defeat the monsters before facing off against the mighty Lord of the Catacombs, thus saving the city.

In Catacombs, players throw wooden discs that represent monsters and heroes. Contact with an opposing piece deals damage, while projectiles, spells, and other special abilities can cause other effects. When all the monsters in a room have been eliminated, the heroes can proceed further into the catacomb.

Items and equipment upgrades can be purchased from the vendor with gold taken from fallen monsters. The Lord of the Catacombs is the final danger that the heroes must defeat to win the game. For his part, the Enemy wins if all the heroes are defeated.
