GAME mechanics

• Deck building - Players start with a basic deck and add new cards throughout the game. The aim is to acquire cards that improve skills and provide strategic advantages to advance on the board and overcome challenges.
• Bags and parts - Players collect pieces and treasures that increase the noise level ("Clank!") throughout the game. These pieces can also provide special abilities or serve as scoring items at the end of the match.
• Elimination of Players - When a certain noise level is reached, players can be eliminated if they can't get out of the dungeon in time, directly impacting the strategy and pace of the game.
• Force Your Luck - Players make risky decisions by exploring deeper for better rewards, but increasing their noise level and thus the chance of being attacked by the dragon.
• Point-to-Point Movement - The board is made up of connected spaces that require movement points. Players spend these points to move their pieces around the map and explore new areas.
• End of Game Bonus - Certain cards, treasures and secondary objectives provide additional points at the end of the game, increasing strategic options and encouraging different approaches throughout the match.
• Movement Points - The cards played by each player can provide movement points, which are used to move around the board and achieve specific objectives or escape from the dungeon.

• Variable Preparation - The game setup can vary with different combinations of cards and tile positioning, offering a different game experience every time.
• Future Purchase - Players can plan their future purchases by looking at the cards available on Dungeon Row, influencing their decisions about which cards to buy to prepare for future rounds.
• Deck Creation - Similar to deck building, but emphasizes the continuous customization of each player's deck, adapting to changes in the game through strategic card acquisition.
• Hand Management - Players manage the cards in their hands to maximize efficiency each turn, deciding how best to use the cards' resources, actions and abilities.
• Move feature - Certain cards in the players' deck provide additional resources that can be used to make extra moves, explore more areas of the board, or access locations more quickly.
