The goal of the game is to gather 6 power-gems in the dungeon.
You obtain gems by defeating Monsters or through some magic cards you might have in your possession.
You can play the game with up to 5 other players, but you can also play it solo. The first player who gains 6 gems wins the game!
The 6th gem can only be gained in combat, not through a 'Gain a Gem' card
Every turn, you can move your character into another room by following one of 4 floors. Your Stamina indicates how many times you can move. Every newly discovered room contains a Monster that you must battle.
You start with a strength of 1.
Each gem you gained gives you a +1 bonus to your combat strength.
The strength can also be increased, both for you or the Monster, by using magic cards and items you receive when starring the match.
Other players can also intervene with their cards and items. Players in adjacent rooms move to the left floor to indicate that they can use their items in the combat. But there are alsomagic cards that can be played from everywhere, not just form adjacent rooms. See Magic Cards and Items for more details
When you are ready to fight (pressing the 'Fight!'-Button), 6-sided dices are rolled for you and the Monster. The result gets added to your strengths.
You win a combat if your strength is greater than the Monster's strength
When you defeat a Monster, you gain a gem.
When you loose, you need to flee into a known adjacent room.
When the match starts, you receive 2 magic cards and 2 items. Magic Cards can be played anytime, anywhere.
The effects of magic cards are permanent (except for Species cards, which can be switched).
Items are either equipped and give you a bonus (e.g. Strength/Stamina/Health) while equipped, or they are on your Belt to be played/used if you are in or near a combat (eg. a player in an adjacent room). If an item can't be used, it is stored in the 'Backpack'
The effects of items played from the Belt last only for one combat.
You gather new items by defeating Monsters or when searching a room
