Assault on Doomrock: Ultimate Edition (2023)

About this game

A complete and updated version of the cooperative fantasy board game, where you can die from an arrow in the knee, poor decisions and dry jokes. A three-act fantasy adventure campaign featuring exploration and combat, now with v4.0 rules, numerous enhancements and improvements, integrated expansions and twice the amount of content released for the game previously. While exploration is focused on creating meaningful decisions with impactful results, combat in Doomrock is highly tactical and aims to be fair by introducing a minimum amount of output randomness and rewarding experienced play; all while giving a hardcore challange. Main features: Focus on replayability, with scenarios in the spirit of rogue-like games, generated from a massive amount of cards A distinct, gridless battle system utilizing dice-allocation mechanics and encounters powered by highly-thematic A.I. Power up between encounters by exploring a randomly-generated world and resolving quests, triggering events, and scoring epic gear and new abilities that bring unexpected synergies between heroes. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 3.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
