Deathly Thrones is a print & play solo player roguelike game. Use playing cards along with the story laid out in the quest booklet to play. It takes less than one minute to setup, and each game runs about 15-20 minutes long.

Print & Play Game
The game uses a print & play format. All you need is a printer and a standard deck of playing cards. Anyone can play!
Each Quest is on a single page and come in two formats:
- A Booklet version. Just fold the page to create your booklet. No need for glue or staples.
- A Single page version. This is a reference sheet that you can view on digital devices or print to play.
Rules
All the playing rules are in a separate file named "Rulebook". They are also on our dedicated website: http://www.deathlythrones.com
You need a standard deck of 52 playing cards. Playing cards are used in a new way. The playing cards are split into 4 decks to help you through your quest:
- Health: Sort the 1-9 ♡ cards in ascending order face up so that the 1 ♡ is on top.
- Armor: Sort the 1-9 ♤ cards in ascending order face up so that the 1 ♤ is on top.
- Battle: Use the 1 - 9 ♧ and ♢ cards. Shuffle them and place the deck face down.
- Step: With the rest of the cards, create a final deck. This includes all suits of 10 - Kings. Shuffle them and place them face down.
Your character choice determines how much Health ♡ and Armor ♤ you will have. Turn the cards in the corresponding counters to display the value at the top.
The last step is to pick your quest and you are ready to play!
