Four Suit Dungeon Delve társasjáték

Angol leírás

Lucky Diamonds, a rogue, stood outside the doors of the Red Wyvern Inn with three others – the first was a Twidgit, a Leprechaun, about the size of a gnome. He was quick and nimble, a bit of a rogue himself, as well as an enchanter, similar to the Enchantress standing next to him. Myndara, a sorceress of The Black (not Black Sorcery - just the color black). Finally, there was Gruff, a Knight, standing there in gleaming steel plate, arms crossed over his chest. They all agreed that they would hire a couple of fighters from the tavern and leave for The Dungeon, which they did. I can’t tell you the rest because they never returned from their adventure.

Four Suit Dungeon Delve is an attempt to distill the classic “Dungeon” adventure down to a basic level and is played using a deck of standard playing cards, with jokers.
In the basic introductory scenario – The Quest for the King’s Daughters, a party of six hardy rescuers must defeat foul monsters, dodge fiendish traps, avoid the curses of evil wizards and the powers of Darkness itself on their quest to rescue the four daughters of Good King Redthorne. The four young ladies (the four Queen cards) were stolen by the evil sorcerer and are imprisoned somewhere in his lair. If the party finds all four, they must still make their way to the exit to escape, and possibly encounter the sorcerer himself in the Last Scene of the game.

If at least one of your party survives the adventure, you win the game.

Rules are included for parties ranging in size from 1 to 12. Other play styles include Double Decker Delving, The Quest to Save the World, Medusa’s Lair, Hell Delvers, Fortress of the Lich and Ten Levels of Tunnels. Other Four Suit wonders are include expanded characters and expanded monsters, as well as an optional rule that you will probably need to use – Fleeing From Monsters.

One final note - I don’t consider this to be a true solitaire game, though it is played like one, because you have to use a piece of paper and pencil to keep your score – in the form of strength points for your party of six. Oh, and you also have to keep track of the party’s lucky breaks, so a bit more writing, but that’s about it. I just draw small circles to be filled in when a lucky break, or arrows or javelins are used. You could play with a second deck to keep track of the delvers by placing dice on them but a few simple tallies with a paper and pencil is much faster. Once you've learned the rules, games take less than 10 minutes to play.
