Read the full game description

The Four Doors is a compact cooperative adventure in which one to five players explore a tower surrounded by four doorways and a steadily advancing shadow. Each adventurer can draw, move, give cards, illuminate a door, or search beyond it for a relic, while a distinctive player power gives the team a different tactical shape every game. Shadow cards close routes and raise the danger level, but recovered relics provide powerful ways to bend the rules. The group wins only by finding all four treasures, gathering at the beacon, and lighting it before darkness seals the tower.
