CONQUER
Dungeon crawl through 3 wacky worlds--Suburbia, the Haunted Forest, and the Deadly Dojo. The mailmen of suburbia are really mad about something, I'm not sure what, but they're throwing envelopes at me and it really hurts! With 1 finger gameplay, this dungeon crawler card game is easy to pick up and hard to master. Activate cards in the right order for powerful streak bonuses, and unleash spells at just the right time to dominate the dungeon.


CRAWL
Descend through the multiple levels of each dungeon to slay tougher challengers. Rearrange the dungeon cards to face foes in the order you choose. Drink health drank to recover HP and power milk for an attack boost. Roll a D4, D6, or D8 based on your weapon to determine your damage. With several types of dungeons including endless dungeons, this dungeon crawler card game will challenge you and provide countless hours of fun.

 
COLLECT
With a huge collection of weapons, shields, and characters, Knights of the Card Table gives you plenty to achieve, and tons of tactical options. Play as a Sodamancer for an extra punch from potions, then pick up a riot shield and some brass knuckles to slay your foes with style. Also, everything looks so cool you'll want to collect it all.

People always ask us, "Can I carry cool weapons like this in real life?"

No, you cannot.

COWABUNGA
This hilarious card crawl will delight you with its incredible art style, soundtrack, and puntastic dialogue. Chug a gallon of power milk for strong bones before heading into battle. Collect ice pops to buy new goodies and put your gold coins in your piggy bank to save up for a new, ahem, flash saber. This dungeon crawling card game has a captivating style all its own.

### 2/5 — Awfully boring

*2024-02-18*

Played a few battles and the linear gameplay is mind numbingly boring. You’re hand held through collecting gold, healing for 1 point of health, +1 attack point boosts and monsters with a few HP in progression towards literally nothing at the end of each line. There’s no reward at the end of each “stage” before shoveling you onto the next. No feeling of victory or accomplishment. Just tap the next card, or swap 2 or 3 cards around giving the false sense of strategy. If the lunch line at a school was made into a game, it’d be this. The graphics are amazing but that’s where it stops as the gameplay is a must-pass instead of a must-play. Really wish I could refund this as I feel misled by the high ratings.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-02-15, version 1.2.2*

Great game, great mechanics. I love the creativity involved. My only complaint, if I had one, is that it’s too easy. Needs a higher difficulty!

### 2/5 — Too repetitive

*2020-12-14, version 1.2.2*

I tried to give this a chance but after 20+ levels, it was too one dimensional for me. If you like games where you grind for an upgrade this is it. Art is really nice though

### 5/5 — Addicted ✨

*2020-07-31, version 1.2.2*

I downloaded the game a while ago, and I HAVE TO say I love it! The gameplay is amazing and I just can’t get enough with the creativity and effort put in this game! Defiantly worth the price on it. Five stars ✨

### 3/5 — An overall entertaining time killer

*2020-07-18, version 1.2.2*

At first, the game has a lot of promise. It’s got a neat little conveyer belt niche that loses its shine halfway through the map. Unlocking the characters and weapons isn’t as exciting as it was 30 levels ago.

### 5/5 — A game worthy of multiple platforms.

*2020-02-23, version 1.1.1*

Impressive production value and well written dialogue make this game worth a much higher price. As somebody who is more of a “core” gamer, this game impresses. An easy purchase.

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2019-08-22, version 1.1.1*

Questy. Simple concept. The dice are well implemented. Cards are really fun and easy to understand. And the strategy has nice layers to it that my simple mind can implement and relax to. Great music too. Nice Adventure Time feel.

### 3/5 — Decent Game. Needs balance.

*2019-07-13, version 1.1.1*

I’ve been playing this while traveling today. I like it, but it has serious balance issues. Once you get to the second zone and buy a couple key upgrades, nothing seems to matter. You can just hit the next item over and over and win.

More importantly, in some of the Challenges (the very, very, waaaaay too long levels that reward you with better gear), you can go on auto-pilot after establishing a small base of upgrades. 

And the biggest problem with the Challenges is how absurdly long and repetitive they are. I’m currently on a Challenge in the second zone with 40 levels. 40 levels is fine, but having to play 40-60 cards per level with no strategy feels purposeless. 

I hope they improve the balance issues and stop padding the game with lots of unnecessary content. It could be a fun one if they do. Otherwise, don’t waste your money.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2019-07-08, version 1.1.1*

Love this game. The art style and polish are great. The core mechanic is fun and it’s nice how it ramps up slowly. I do have some suggestions for improvement: the game is fun but at times feels too easy. Too much health is offered and I’ve breezed through the first 50 levels or so with only a couple of fails. Mobile games in general shouldn’t be too punishing in my opinion but a little more challenge would be cool. The expansion island challenges are fun though. Also there seems to be a coin imbalance as I have way too much gold and nothing to spend it on. More customization would be great. And I didn’t know you could swap weapons or characters. It would be nice if there was more strategy in terms of characters and equipment. (For example, a dungeon with only boss monsters, a dungeon with no health, etc.). Would love to see the devs improve on the base game because it is super fun!

### 5/5 — Haven’t even opened the game yet...

*2019-07-07, version 1.1.1*

I’m giving 5 stars to the Dev based solely on their responses to feedback. Now to play...

Edit: Fireballs should destroy TNT cards

Edit: Option to buy single use, pre level start buffs would be cool
