Three Rooms. Ten Minutes. Perfect Mayhem.
Every dungeon tells a story.
Some are filled with legendary treasure. Others become the graves of overconfident adventurers.

hOW DOES IT WORK?
Become the Dungeon Master... and the Hero
At the start of each game, both players are dealt a hand of eight cards—a mixture of fearless Characters, terrifying Monsters, and powerful Magic.
Now the real game begins.
Taking turns, you secretly build the dungeon by assigning your cards to its three rooms.
Will you send a mighty hero to seize the treasure?
Station a fearsome monster hoard to defend it?
Or hold back your most powerful card until your opponent least expects it?
Every placement is a prediction. Every card is a bluff.
Every card possesses not only Strength, but also a unique ability that can alter the outcome of a fight.
Magic Creates the Mayhem
Characters and Monsters bring raw Strength to the battle, but Magic changes everything.
Boost your own forces.
Weaken your opponent.
Spring unexpected surprises.
The strongest card isn't always the one that wins.
Success belongs to the player who anticipated what their opponent might do—and planned one step ahead. Based on the cards YOU have, you can guess what your opponent has and try to outwit what he might do. At least minimize the damage he can do to you.
The Big Reveal
Once every card has been placed, it's time to see whose plan was better.
Choose a room. Both players reveal the forces they've committed there.
Now the battle begins.
Card abilities trigger, Strength rises and falls, strategies collide, and carefully laid plans either come together brilliantly... or fall apart spectacularly. After every modifier has been resolved, the player with the highest remaining Strength claims victory in that room.
But the battle isn't over yet.
Every Game Tells a Different Story
With changing room contents, different card combinations, and countless strategic possibilities, no two adventures ever unfold the same way.
One game may reward bold aggression.
The next may favor patience, deception, and perfectly timed magic.
You'll constantly second-guess your opponent...
...while hoping they're doing exactly the same to you.
One of the game's greatest sources of humor comes from fighting tooth and nail over absolutely nothing. After an epic clash of monsters, heroes, and magic, the room might reveal little more than dust and cobwebs. Since no battle causes any lasting loss, every surprise becomes part of the fun. Win or lose, you'll laugh at the twists, celebrate the clever plays, and jump right into the next room, wondering if this time the treasure will finally be worth the fight.
Monsters, Magic and Mayhem was conceived, designed, developed, playtested, and written entirely by people. The only AI used during development was for temporary placeholder artwork to help visualize the prototype while the game's mechanics were being refined. We heard your feedback, and we're replacing every AI placeholder with original artwork created by a human artist. Because professional artwork is one of the largest expenses in producing a game, the Kickstarter edition will initially feature beautifully crafted line art. After the campaign is successfully funded, the same artist will complete these illustrations as richly detailed, full-color pieces, ensuring the finished game is 100% human-created—from its design to its final artwork.
