"Without teamwork, you will never survive. Without betrayal, you’ll never win." Cutthroat Caverns is played over 9 turns, each with a random encounter. Essentially a game of 'kill stealing'. Each round, any monster encountered will have a prestige value of 1 through 6. The player that successfully jockeys for position and lands the killing blow gets the prestige value for the encounter. The player with the most prestige after the 9 encounters is the winner. If the players do not survive all 9 encounters, no one wins the game. Other games have tried to bring the RPG dungeon 'experience' to a deck of cards and have succeeded thematically and mechanically. Cutthroat Caverns does so on an emotional level. You will be transported to that fateful day, as a young idealistic RPG player with visions of Tolkien's fellowship dancing in your head, when you suddenly come to the horrible realization that the other players may pose more of a threat than the creatures themselves. The feeling of that moment is sustained and heightened all through gameplay. A unique combination of cooperative game play and opportunistic backstabbing.
