Sub Terra

Players cooperate as amateur cavers trying to escape an unexplored network of subterranean tunnels before light and air run out. On a turn each player explores by placing tiles from a randomized stack, moves through newly revealed tunnels, and uses a role-specific ability (for example, an Engineer can blast rock while a Scout finds routes more easily). Hazard cards are drawn each round to introduce floods, collapses, gas, scree and other threats that deal damage or sever escape routes. The game tracks finite resources—torches and hazard cards—that gradually increase pressure and force difficult choices as the team attempts to reach safety.
