Cavern Shuffle: Peril on the Planet

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 what lies ahead of them. Using familiar mechanics, players will uncover useful Items, overcome Obstacles and defeat the Boss Encounter to win! The Setting:Something has gone awry on the surface of this newly terraformed planet. A new infection has developed and has begun spreading itself across the grove. In this adventure we will meet the Crawler, a mech harvester that has been deployed to survey and protect this new area; but lately, it doesn't seem to be acting according to it's programming. Here we find our Adventurers dropping down onto this new world to uncover what has been ailing the area. Building off the original, players will leverage useful Items, discover new clues 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 Boss Encounter will start face up in the first pile of the play area, and the Starting Item 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 until you are strong enough to beat the Boss and win the game! —description from the designer
