Then you treat the door like a dead end. Nothing more happens and you go on to the next turn. But if the door is opened later the monster will get through. Thx for checking out the game. If you have more questions feel free to post them here. Though I’ll be away for a few days this week so if you need a quick answer check out the forums attached to Paperbag Dungeon’s BGG listing boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/353086/paperbag-dungeon

None taken. In fact, I started with square cards but moved to poker cards because I liked the aesthetic better. It had the added bonus of making card placement more challenging. Most other dungeon-building or tile-placement games do use squares. Especially ones that need the cards to be swapped and rotated after they've been placed.

Followup. I just remembered the other reason I switched. It made card flipping much easier. With square cards, you're not alway sure which axis you flipped on and you can accidentally wind up with the card facing a different direction.

I fiddle with it from time to time. Nothing too ambitious, because it's just a hobby. You should consider entering something into the Solo Print and Play contest that is run on the forums of BoardgameGeek.com lot of creative folks there. It's a good way to jump start ideas like that. And many other game design contests that new designers can get in on.

Haha thx. I wanted to make sure they had personality.

Thanks! Yeah, It starts simple and develops into something tricky. I need to thank whoever is talking it up this week because I've had a lot of interest the last three days!

It could have been oriented either way. I just wanted to keep everything on screen.

@@DustinPorta ahhh makes sense!

Glad you like it. I have a lot of fun making these! Instead of trying to sell it to a publisher, to publish it myself though The Game Crafter www.thegamecrafter.com/games/paperbag-dungeon

@@DustinPorta yes, I ordered a copy!

@@alexstrang9823 Awesome! If you have any questions about rules, feel free to post them on the Paperbag Dungeon BGG listing or my games discord discord.gg/zMUqPetf

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. There just wasn't enough room in the box for more cards. I added a pdf of the rules to the sales page and also to the game's BGG listing. Hopefully that helps.

@@DustinPorta It does, thanks. The game looks fun!

Glad you like it! I have a lot of fun making these.

That's correct. Well, technically they enter play face-down, then they flip over to the live side. That distinction is usually not important though.

Thanks, I had a lot of fun with it. If you play it you'll have to let me know how it goes.

@@DustinPorta I can definitely do that!

Thanks! Glad you enjoy it!

One of the game files is laid out so that you can print double-sided. But a lot of people print the front and back on separate paper and then glue them together. I've also seen people who glue them to playing cards. If that's too much of a hassle, once the contest ends I'm gonna make it available from a website that prints custom playing cards.

This is helpful. I'll make sure to have something like that when I make my final rules video. These are the actual cards that I drew on. It's an unprofessional way to do it, but drawing in a sketchbook or on a computer just doesn't spark my creativity. Sketched in pencil, then inked them. But there's another video on my channel showing what these look like once scanned and professionally printed and I think they retain the charm.

@@DustinPorta Great, thanks for the reply

Thx. The audio is a bit muffled. I'll have to re-record it before the end of the contest, but it took all day to get a good take, so I'm glad it was helpful.
