Use your strength, cunning and/or equipment to battle through ten levels of a monster-filled dungeon, and escape with the Amulet of Yendor. Based, naturally, on the classic computer game.
Special Rules
Dungeon Levels
Each Player is, at any given time, on a Dungeon Level - a number between one and ten. This should be tracked with a D10, or on paper, or with counters, or somesuch. The player is considered to share that Level with any Monsters that their opponent controls.
Loot and Monsters
If a card says "Play only on Level X", a player can only play it if they are on Dungeon Level X.
If a card says "Play only onto Level X" (typically only for monsters), it can only be played if their opponent is on Dungeon Level X.
Combat
A Player may, as an Action, declare Combat. During Combat, a Player discards any number of Monster cards from their hand to represent their attack's power. The Strength of each discarded card is considered to be a Strike against a chosen Monster in play - if the total of Strikes against a Monster exceed its Strength, it is destroyed. For example, a Cockatrice (2) could be destroyed by discarding an Orc card (3), or by discarding a Bat and a Killer Bees card (1 each).
Staircases
If a Player faces no Monsters (that is, their Opponent controls no Monsters) they may - as an Action - go up or down a Staircase, incrementing or decrementing their Dungeon Level accordingly. Players may not go down from Level Ten.
Equipment
All non-Monster Things are Equipment. A Player may take an Action to discard any amount of Equipment they have in play, unless they have had the "Cursed!" card played onto them.
Wielding
Players may only use a single Weapon during combat.
