About the Game

As royal quartermaster, it's your job to hire patrons for dungeon crawling by earning their trust at the tavern bar.

Serve drinks, negotiate pay, and leverage profits to upgrade your heroes and facilities, then crawl dungeons filled with monsters, traps, and chance encounters using your hero's deck built from equipped gear.

Find procedurally-generated loot and valuables to upgrade your squad and face tougher enemies to satisfy the King's demands and reveal new chapters of the lighthearted story.

Features

Find, Research, Fight, Profit

Hire patrons for dungeon crawling by earning their trust at the tavern bar. Serve empowering drinks, negotiate pay rates and leverage profits to upgrade your heroes and facilities.

Deckbuilding Dungeons

Crawl dungeons filled with monsters, traps, and chance encounters using your hero's deck, built from equipped gear. Find procedurally-generated loot and valuables to upgrade your squad and face tougher enemies to satisfy the King's demands.

Wits, Not Reflexes

Enjoy turn-based deckbuilding with a twist: Attacking and defending happen simultaneously instead of on alternating turns, so you must strategize the order in which your enemy's attacks are resolved. Combat moves at your pace, reflexes not required!

Chatty Clientele

Heroes can't fight if they're thirsty! Serve drinks and chat from behind the bar to unlock new skills and storylines, or perhaps negotiate a better rate for their services. Consult personnel records and charts to identify and reward standout performers.

Plus

Cross-platform play for PC and Mobile. Nature calls? Don't stop the crawls!
Lighthearted story featuring a villain inspired by the inane tweets of teenage celebrities.
Endless play with no level cap or limit to dungeon size.
No Ads. No IAP. No internet required.
