Read the full game description
Dark Tomb: Bloodthorn Island is a portable dungeon crawler in which interchangeable heroes cross a dangerous river and explore Lorgon’s island. Map tiles, monsters, and items are randomized within three increasingly difficult stages. Every hero moves and chooses a distinct action while the stage activates monsters and environmental threats. The adventure fits in a small tin, works solo or cooperatively, and can add a fifth player to command the monsters.
