About We Slay Monsters

You rebuild the Academy For Dungeoneering with gold earned from successful quests for nearby towns. Individual heroes can die permanently, but the academy survives and keeps supplying new recruits for the campaign against the rival Institute of Evil.

What makes it worth a look?

  • Combat borrows poker hands but uses six suits and values from one to nine. Three matching suits can form a flush, triggering a super attack, and each suit has a different attack ability.
  • A dungeon is designed for roughly 15-25 minutes of play, unless the hero dies sooner.
  • Completing quests gradually unlocks more than 35 monster types with different abilities.

Is this game right for you or your group?

  • Build the academy legacy. Quest gold develops the base even when a recruited hero dies.
  • Learn the altered card rules. Six suits and short flushes turn familiar poker combinations into attacks.
