Build a nasty dungeon, then survive the one your opponent built.

A two-player duel in which you first build a dungeon of walls, traps and monsters for your rival, then have to survive and map the one they built for you.

Who it's for

Two players who like deduction with a mischievous streak and enjoy designing the problem as much as solving it.

Not for you if…

You dislike hidden information used against you, or the setup of building a dungeon before playing feels like homework.

Vibe's take

Gleefully mean and puzzly – the fun is watching your trap land, then walking straight into theirs two turns later.
