Cutthroat Caverns: Anniversary Edition

Players are adventurers who must work together to survive a gauntlet of monstrous encounters while also competing to deliver the final blow and claim the prize. Each combat round progresses through escalating threats from a roster of nine powerful foes; players use cards and abilities to attack, defend, manipulate initiative, and alter damage outcomes. The game plays as semi-cooperative bluffing and timing: only the player who deals the killing blow scores the monster, so decisions balance helping the party versus withholding or sabotaging allies. Updated encounter and finish rules, streamlined keywords, and enhanced components adjust pacing and scale for different player counts.
