Catacombs
From the Publisher...
Catacombs is an action/dexterity based adventure board game. One player controls the Overseer, controlling the monsters of the catacombs. The other player(s) control the four heroes who cooperatively try to defeat the monsters and eventually the Catacomb Lord. Each of the heroes have special abilities that must also be used effectively if they are to prevail.
The main mechanic of Catacombs is for the players to flick wooden discs representing the monsters and the heroes. Contact with an opposing piece inflicts damage but missiles, spells, and other special abilities can cause other effects. When all of the monsters of a room have been cleared, the heroes can move further into the catacomb. Items and equipment upgrades can be purchased from the Merchant with gold taken from fallen monsters. The Catacomb Lord is the final danger that the heroes must defeat to win the game. Conversely, the Overseer wins if all of the heroes are defeated. The game is designed for quick setup and fast play.

| Combining dexterity (flicking) with dungeon crawling might seem like a very strange idea, but in Catacombs it works extremely well. The exitement and the fantasy setting of the dungeon crawler has been kept, while complicated rules for moving and fighting have been replaced by the ultimate combat resolution mechanism - your own flick! |

| A very cool game with some originality! This game is light and great fun for most gamers, hardcore or light everyone seems to enjoy it. (Except people that don't like flicking obviously.) This game is fun and dosen't really feel repetative after having played it many many times. I highly recommend it! |
