Description
A mighty artifact is hidden in a forgotten Temple. An obscure spell makes it unreachable. The only way to break this arcane magic is to find the tombs of the Evil Champions, which rest in the Temple, evocate them and defeat all of them! Find the Artifact and escape from the Temple before all Evil creatures dwelling there wake up!
Temple of Horrors is an innovative dungeon crawler game for 1-4 players, which lasts about 90 minutes, where typical Euro game mechanicals mix with the American style. In Temple of Horrors, players create the dungeon map directly, choosing which tile place from their available display when their Hero explores a new area. By creating large Rooms of the same type, players will increase their chances to find clues about the Artifact position. Placing or not, particular game Rooms, from Library to Trap Rooms, or Treasure, Healing, Monster Rooms, will determine their chance of survival.
Activating the Tombs Rooms, players will be able to fight mighty Bosses and find Clues. Combining Clues, they will discover the Artefact position, and if they will able to take it and escape from the Temple in time, they will win.
Escape? Not so easy! After entering the Temple, the Entrance collapsed. So players must find a secondary exit. Different in each game, an ancient Map will reveal the path they have to take to find it. The game can last up to 14 rounds. In every round, the opponents will be stronger and more challenging to win.
You can play the game also in PvP mode. In this case, one or more hidden players will try secretly to win alone, distract the rest of the party on a false path, and grab the Artifact. This kind of game adds a lot of RPG aspects to the game.
Each Hero has their powers and abilities and can improve them during the game, gaining experience points, choosing how: by this way, each Hero is different in every game. Magic Items, potions, weapons will improve and differentiate each character more.
The Lost Artifact is one of the 100 different Adventures of the game! Each Adventure is playable multiple times by players, and each play will always be different!
