## What is Cutthroat Caverns?

Without teamwork, you’ll never survive. Without betrayal, you’ll never win.

Cutthroat Caverns is the award-winning, semi-cooperative card game about a party of adventurers who MUST work together in order to escape the horrors of a deadly dungeon, but who are rewarded with untold wealth and power if they alone land the killing blow on the most fell creatures. Trip or edge out your ‘friends’ as you position yourself for the kill – knowing that each time you do, you risk the entire party dying before any of you can escape, with no winner at all.

This digital version of Cutthroat Caverns has been optimized for solo play against 3 AI opponents, selected from a pool of 6 unique AI constructs. Each AI has their own tactics and strategies, which mirror the play styles that have emerged in the twelve years since the physical card game debuted. Players may choose a short 3 encounters, medium 5-encounter game or the traditional 9-encounter game – and may adjust the difficulty for a greater challenge. Unlock achievements as you progress through the game as you face off against the characters you know and love from the original Cutthroat Caverns. 

Trust No One.

### 4/5 — Fun!

*2022-07-08, version 1.0.9*

AI is pretty good. Makes me want to buy the physical game.

### 3/5 — Out of last ten games had to restart 5 of them

*2021-08-01, version 1.0.9*

When it works it is fun but out of the last 10 games I had to restart 5 of them.  Either due to a condition where the game pauses between rounds and no monster shows up or the game simply cannot be won or progressed such as the creature spite is in play with 185 life points all players are dead except me and I only have 1 card.  There is no way to kill the creature and no way to progress the game.  This has happened to me with different scenarios more then once.

### 4/5 — Good, but not great

*2020-12-22, version 1.0.9*

I just got the physical game, so I quickly downloaded the app. It is a good approximation of the card game.  There are some bugs and inconsistencies in the interface that are hard to get around at times. Also, no resume game function if you have to close the app is annoying.

### 3/5 — Great app version of the card game but...

*2020-01-22, version 1.0.8*

This is a great representation of the card game but only certain monsters are available that I get every game and none of the special abilities, relics, or fun things are in it.  Need to add more content and playing with others online.  Hard mode just makes your team stupid and has me edged out or tripped on the first monster we face so by the third monster the entire team is at 15LP and circling the drain.  Good start but let’s keep building!
