About this game
Cerberus strands your whole group in the Greek underworld with one boat, limited seats, and a three-headed hound that would very much like to eat you all. You can cooperate, sharing your hand's powerful group-helping effects to guide everyone toward the barque together, or quietly hoard the smaller selfish bonuses and let someone else get left behind instead. Ten modular board layouts and adjustable difficulty mean the escape route, and the tension, never plays out the same way twice. Whoever gets caught does not simply lose, they become a ghost hunting the living, actively working against former friends. Negotiation, mythology and a slow-building betrayal make every escape feel earned.
