In Ruins - A Dungeon Building Game
In Ruins is a GM-less dungeon-building game for 1-6 players. Part collaborative story game¸ part tactical network-building game¸ players tell the story of a castle as it is built¸ falls into ruins¸ and is taken over by rival factions. In the ~2 hour game¸ players will create a dungeon¸ fully stocked with competing factions¸ hazards¸ monsters¸ and NPCs¸ that can then be explored with their fantasy TTRPG of choice. - Full play-time of 1.5-2 hours can be divided up over multiple sessions.
- Includes story-game aspects where players collaborate to create the history of the castle.
- The process of laying out the castle's rooms in the first round and then ruining them in the second round creates the dungeon.
- Players control classic fantasy factions (such as Kobolds¸ Cultists¸ and Undead) with asymmetric abilities as they vie for dominance over the dungeon.
