About this game

Catacombs turns your fingers into the dice: this is a dungeon crawl fought entirely by flicking wooden discs across the table. One player becomes the Overseer, commanding an army of monsters, while the rest pick from six heroes and flick their way through room after room, knocking pieces together to deal damage, aiming spells and missiles with actual precision. Buy gear, recruit allies, and keep pushing deeper until you're facing the Catacomb Lord itself. It rewards a genuinely steady hand as much as good tactics, and watching a perfectly aimed flick land is deeply satisfying.
