In Descend the Tower, you and your party successfully infiltrate the evil wizard tower and recover the
princess. Now, it is time to take them home, but unfortunately, your original path has been compromised,
leaving you with only one option: to escape through the chaos of the tower.
Work your way through a literal tower of cards, communicating with your friends to clear floors using your
party's resources to quickly or safely escape. This game has multiple classes, with tons of replayability as
it is easy to set up and reset the game. Each class has a special set of skill cards that can be used
together to solve each floor. Each floor will have multiple ways to solve it, allowing your friends to use
each other's resources or preserve them. You can roll dice to determine special outcomes that may help or
ruin your escape.
Win the game by successfully going through the stack of cards while the princess remains unharmed and free
of any lingering curse. This is a quick cooperative adventure game that will make you think twice about the
moves you make! This game is targeted towards more strategic people who love a good challenge.
The players will be dealt a card from the Tower, which will have an encounter and ways to solve it. Players
will then communicate how they want to proceed. Using the resource cards specific to their class they can
combine, place, or test their luck in clearing that floor. This may result in the players moving fast and
taking chances, or going slow and safely but overall moving down the tower. Furthermore, players will go
through the rooms and defeat foes to escape the Tower or be defeated by the enemies.
This game is currently still being developed, and we hope to soon get it published!
