Catacombs

Four heroes enter an underground maze to fight monsters and the Catacomb Lord. One player operates the Overseer, placing and flicking monster discs; the other player or players cooperate as the barbarian, thief, wizard and elf, each with distinct abilities. Combat and movement use flicking of wooden discs to resolve attacks, spells and missiles; collisions and special effects inflict damage or trigger abilities. Clearing rooms advances the heroes deeper, while gold from defeated foes buys items and upgrades from a merchant. Games run roughly 30–60 minutes and end when the heroes defeat the Catacomb Lord or all heroes are eliminated.
