Scoundrel!

A solo card dungeon crawler using a standard deck of cards. Battle monsters, manage resources, and survive.

Based on: Scoundrel! by Zach Gage and Kurt Bieg.

Each room presents four cards: monsters (♣/♠), weapons (♦), and potions (♥). Defeat all monsters before your health reaches zero.

How to Play:

• Rooms: Four cards drawn from the deck.
• Actions: Play three of the four cards in each room by dragging and dropping them on an action box:
  • Fight Barehanded: Take full monster damage.
  • Fight With Weapon: Reduce damage (Monster Value - Weapon Value, minimum 0). Requires an equipped weapon and the monster's value must be less than or equal to the weapon's durability.
  • Equip/Use Item: Equip a weapon (♦) or use a potion (♥) (only the first used potion per room).
  • Discard Potion: Discard a potion (♥), the only option for hearts if a potion has been consumed already in this room.
• Weapon Durability: Your weapon's durability becomes the value of the last monster defeated by it. This determines the maximum value of monsters you can fight with that weapon.
• Carry Over: The last card of the room goes to the next room's start.
• Run (Optional): At the start of a room, you can return all 4 cards to the bottom of the deck. You can not use run in consecutive rooms or after a card has been played in that room.

Card Values:

Card Values: 2-10 the same as rank; J: 11, Q: 12, K: 13, A: 14

Note: This is a fan project. I have nothing to do with the original game. I'm following the rules the way I understand them. Check out the rules PDF to play the game in person with a real deck of cards.
