Cutthroat Caverns: Relics and Ruin
Smirk and Dagger has posted the rules, info and images from their highly anticipated expansion to Cutthroat Caverns, Relics and Ruin, on their website at http://smirkanddagger.com/cutthroatRelics.htm
The game looks to finally arrive in December after hitting a few roadbumps at the printer. “It’s been killing us not having the game when we’d hoped – because it will add so much to game play,” said Curt Covert. “We have posted details about the new mechanics and some great images to whet everyone’s appetite!”
As an overview, the critically acclaimed game of dungeon delving, kill-stealing and cooperative – backstabbing becomes even more challenging with the inclusion of a NEW game mechanic, an Event Deck that makes even the most familiar Encounters new again. And mixed among the Events are ways to earn powerful new Relics that confer game changing abilities upon their owners.
Plus, this set includes 15 of the deadliest creatures yet. Can you resist the lure of a 14-card hand? Will you succumb to the PVP inducing effects of Voodoo? Or will you become a horrific beast yourself in the final moments and turn on your companions?
Once again, we have to credit a host of amazing artist who have lent their talents to creating the horriffic creatures in the game. Among them are returning artist Adam Vehige, who creates monsterous images for Halloween attractions nationwide, the world renown tattoo artist, David Bollt, whom you may have seen on Heavy Metal magazine, CB Sorge and her amazingly detailed illustrations, matte painter Levente Peterffy, video game illustrator and animator Ian Maclean and more! Check out the gallery section of our site and follow the links to see more of their great works!
Plus, many of the Relics we mentioned above – are real! The photos on the cards show the actual work of these talented artisans, armorers and jewelers. Many of the items are for purchase – or for the one of a kind items, you may be able to commission a Relic of your very own.
“We are in the process of finalizing the pages for the following expansion, Tombs and Tomes, and should have that done in a week or so,” added Curt. “Both expansions and the reprint of the base game and first expansion, which sold out way ahead of schedule, are all on the same print run at this point. We’ll keep you posted as we get closer to having them.”
Stay tuned!
