Catacombs is an award-winning cooperative board game set in the fantasy world of Cimathue, and you'll need skill and dexterity to master this fast-moving game.
One player (the Guardian) leads an army of monsters, while the others choose from six courageous heroes as they embark on a quest to save the city of Stormtryne from the threat lurking in the catacombs below. As the heroes explore, they must use their skills, purchase items and recruit allies to help them defeat the monsters before facing the powerful Catacomb Lord and saving the city.
In Catacombs, players flick wooden discs that represent the monsters and heroes. Contact with an opponent causes damage, while projectiles, spells, and other special abilities can cause other effects. Once all the monsters in a room have been defeated, the heroes can move further into the catacombs.
Items and equipment upgrades can be purchased from the Merchant with gold obtained from defeated monsters. The Catacomb Lord is the ultimate threat that the heroes must defeat to win the game. On the other hand, the Supervisor wins if all heroes are defeated.
This third edition of Catacombs features all-new artwork compared to the previous editions, but most importantly, the key words from the first two editions have been replaced with iconography, the terminology has changed, and the third edition has new shooting actions, new card effects, and a different assortment of parts (with many stats changed), as well as wall parts not present in previous editions.
