Synopsis

YOUR SOUL IS THE DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND ...

Dungeon Solitaire: Devil's Playground is a fantasy adventure card game. Fight monstrous diabolisms, overcome obstacles, and endure misfortunes as you delve into the darkest dungeon in a quest to defeat three powerful demons. Along the way you will collect treasure and unique magic items, encounter strange locales, and acquire three divine graces. But beware, the dungeon is deep and even if you survive all immediate dangers, a fate worse than death awaits those who linger too long. You may face starvation and insanity, terrible curses and demonic possession, forever haunted, in the darkness of the pit.

Includes the Devil's Playground stand-alone game and a two-player cooperative mode, multiple expansion rules for the Dungeon Solitaire: Labyrinth of Souls tarot card game, four variants of Dungeon War, and guidelines for fortune telling using the Devil's Playground card deck.

For one or two players.

Most games require the Devil's Playground cards, available separately. Instructions are included for using modified standard playing cards. Expansion rules require the Labyrinth of Souls rulebook and cards. Dungeon Solitaire cards can be purchased through the author's website.
