Catacombs (Third Edition)

Flick wooden discs to represent heroes and monsters in a dexterity-driven dungeon crawl. One player acts as the Overseer, deploying monster forces and special attacks, while the other players each control a hero with unique abilities, spells, and missile shots. Combat and movement resolve by physical flicks and contact between discs; ranged attacks, spells, and special effects use specific shot types and icons. Heroes collect gold from defeated foes to buy items and upgrades from a Merchant, clear rooms to advance through the catacombs, and ultimately confront the Catacomb Lord. The Overseer wins by eliminating all heroes; the heroes win by defeating the final threat.
