Cavern Shuffle: Maze of the Minotaur

The Premise:Based on the classic Solitaire, Cavern Shuffle is a solo-player dungeon delver game where the player must level up their party in order to uncover the dark twists and turns of the dungeon. Using familiar mechanics, players will uncover useful Items, overcome Obstacles and defeat the Boss Encounter to win!

Setup:The setup is very similar to the Classic Solitaire with the seven piles ranging from 1 to 7 in front of you forming the Dungeon and the rest of the cards in the Explore (or Hand) pile. These will be introduced into the game by flipping up three at a time. The key difference in the setup is that the Minotaur will start face up in the first pile of the Dungeon, and the Short Rest will sit above it forming your inventory.

How it Works:Play will be centered around forming sequences with your four (4) Adventurers and leveling them up into the Party piles at the top. Leveling up your Adventurers will in turn help you complete different Encounters in the Dungeon until you are strong enough to beat the Minotaur and win the game!

Adventurers:Think suits in a standard deck of cards! There are four (4) Adventurers in the game that will make up your Party; Two (2) will be the Lawful alignment (“suits”), and two (2) will be Chaotic. Each Adventurer will have cards ranging from Level 1 to 10 that can be used in sequences and be leveled-up by being transferred to the top. Each sequence in the Dungeon will operate the same, alternating between Lawful and Chaotic.
