About Baldrick's Tomb

Baldrick's Tomb is a roguelike board game for 2-4 players. The game takes place in a four-story, underground tomb that is constantly being churned from the inside out by the late sorcerer Baldrick. The locations of everything – including treasures, traps, monsters, and even the exits – are completely randomized for every game as a result of Baldrick smashing the crypt to bits. The players are tasked with making their way down to the bottom of this tomb, collecting a precious treasure, then climbing back out. But this is really only a means to an end. The real reason for a group of treasure hunters to explore a dangerous tomb is so that they can (hopefully) acquire heaps of treasure. Players will use their wit, push their luck, and call upon powerful scrolls to help themselves and hinder others, all in the pursuit of treasure points. The player who makes it out of the tomb with the most points wins.
