Info

solITAIRe PlAy To play Tomb as a single Player, shuffle all decks as if it were a multiplayer game. Deal two Crypt Cards to each Crypt without looking at them (deal only one card to any Crypt that can only hold one). Draw three Crypt Cards. Add a third card from your hand to a Crypt that can hold at least three, and then draw another Crypt Card. Repeat until all Crypts that can hold at least three cards have a third card. Deal a fourth Crypt Card from the deck to all Crypts that can hold four. Fill any Crypts that can hold more from your hand until all are full. Draw 20 Characters from the Character Pool and place them in the Inn. Recruit Characters from this group as usual. When there are no remaining Characters in the Player Adventuring Party or at the Inn, the game ends. Any time you use a Turn Action to draw any Inn Cards, you must select a Character from the Inn and destroy it. The only exceptions are cards drawn because of effects on Characters, Inn Cards, Crypts, or Crypt Cards. No Characters are added to the Inn unless dictated by a card or Crypt effect. Play through the Tomb as usual with your Adventuring Party. The maximum Adventuring Party size is four Characters. When raiding a Crypt, resolve the cards in the usual order (Traps, Monsters, Treasures). Resolve Traps in any order you see fit. Monsters act in order from highest XP to lowest XP. When a Monster has to select whether to attack or to use an ability, always select the option that involves the most Tomb Dice being rolled. Ignore abilities that refer to other Adventuring Parties. The game ends when either there are no more Characters in the Adventuring Party and Inn, or all Crypts are empty – whichever happens first. You do not gain XP for Treasures, regardless of whether they were used or banked. You gain +5 XP for each surviving Character in the Adventuring Party and the Inn if you successfully cleared all Crypts. Your adventuring rank is based on the following chart: 0 XP or fewer Hireling 1 XP – 10 XP Henchman 11 XP – 20 XP Slime Mold 21 XP – 30 XP Recruit 31 XP – 40 XP Sergeant 41 XP – 50 XP Mercenary 51 XP – 60 XP Adventurer 61 XP – 70 XP Gamer 71 XP – 80 XP Slayer 81 XP – 90 XP Tomb Raider 91 XP – 100 XP Dungeon Master 101 XP or more Power Gamer
CAMPAIGn PlAy Players may select to play a series of games, with their adventures making up a long-term campaign. If so, each Player keeps a running tally of XP from one game to the next. As the Player gains XP, the Player goes up in level – and gains benefits for each new level! The Player receives the following benefits: 50 XP oR FeWeR 51 XP – 100 XP 101 XP – 200 XP 201 XP – 400 XP 401 XP – 700 XP 701 XP – 1100 XP 1101 XP – 1600 XP 1601 XP – 2200 XP 2201 XP – 3000 XP 3000 XP oR MoRe level 1 level 2 level 3 level 4 level 5 level 6 level 7 level 8 level 9 level 10 MonsTeR FoDDeR GReenhoRn PAGe sqUIRe joURneyMAn MAn AT ARMs solDIeR heRo knIGhT loRD No benefit. Re-roll two Tomb Dice when determining who goes first. Draw six Characters instead of five during the Recruitment Phase (choosing one for the starting Adventuring Party as usual). When one of the Player’s Characters is destroyed, the Player may return it to the Character Pool instead of the discard pile. Once per game, after drawing an Inn card, the Player may immediately discard it and draw another. The Player’s hand size while filling the Tomb is four cards instead of three. After recruiting a Character, the Player may discard one or more cards from the Player XP Bank to immediately recruit that number of additional Characters. Before shuffling the Crypt Card Deck, the Player may take one card of his or her choice to put into his or her hand. Before the Player draws Characters at the start of the game, the Player may search for one Character from the Character Pool for the Adventuring Party. Draw five Characters from the Character Pool and place them at the Inn. The Player’s maximum Adventuring Party size is six Characters instead of five. All benefits are cumulative. For example, if the Player has 150 XP, the Player may re-roll two Tomb Dice to see who goes first and then draw six Characters instead of five when choosing his initial Adventuring Party.
