Read the full game description
Ancient Terrible Things: Reawakened sends foolish adventurers along a jungle river filled with ominous encounters. Each turn, a player travels to a location, rolls dice, and uses focus, feats, treasure, and other resources to assemble the combinations needed to survive. Choosing when to reroll and when to accept a lesser result creates the central push-your-luck tension. This definitive third implementation folds revised material from Ancient Terrible Things and Konja into a language-independent system for solo or competitive play.
