DUNGEON DEGENERATES - HAND OF DOOM Fantasy Board Game

Created by Sean Äaberg

RETRO ROLE PLAYING GAME FEEL IN A COOPERATIVE DARK FANTASY BOARD GAME! DUNGEON DEGENERATES - HAND OF DOOM is a fantasy adventure board game from GOBLINKO. Blending a Dark & Dirty Old School role playing game aesthetic with an easy to learn, fast-moving & engaging board game system, DUNGEON DEGENERATES delivers the dark fantasy adventure you want, when you want it. Players choose between four adventuring Degenerates who have been imprisoned for various crimes of survival. As they make their way out of Brüttelberg into the decaying Eastern provinces of the Würstreich they must take on strange & dangerous adventures & fighting against the corruption & decadence that have set into the land. Monsters, cultists, witches, demons & wizards have taken advantage of the rot & are encroaching on civilization. As if that wasn’t enough, the Necromancer’s Hand of Doom points down on the land & disrupts the natural order with Hellish resolve.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM DUNGEON DEGENERATES!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! YOU GET SIX NEW MONSTERS & AN EPIC MONSTER!

To celebrate Halloween & to reward our awesome backers we're adding six new classic monsters to DUNGEON DEGENERATES. You get the Corpse Golem, Mold Mummy, Invisible Slasher, Wolfman, Lake Lurkers, Succubus & Wampyr Lord accompanied by a terrifying EPIC MONSTER YET TO BE REVEALED! Thanks to everyone for backing the project! BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!

HERE COMES A DUNGEON DEGENERATES HALLOWEEN CHARACTER PACK!

DUNGEON DEGENERATES CHARACTER PACK - ALLEY CAT & JACK SLASHER ($13)

Alley Cat & Jack Slasher join the party! You get two new character cards with 3 skill cards, 4 loot cards & standees of the characters!

Alley Cat was born with the Mark of the Beast & left to die at the edge of the Witch Wood as a baby. It was lycanthropy that both doomed & saved Alley Cat who was able to live as a wild animal in the haunted forest. Still attracted to the relative order & comfort of the society that threw her away, Alley Cat makes her way begging, borrowing & stealing on the streets of Brüttelberg where she is able to pass as a normal urchin most of the time. Alley Cat wants to claw her way to the top, but isn't too proud to beg for her milk money.    

A quiet, young farmhand wandered off into the corn fields of the Würstreich one October & was never seen again. Rumors & speculation surrounded the boy's disappearance but six years later a strange apparition was spotted wearing the farmhand's rotting clothes & a Jack O' Lantern on his head, wielding a Skinning Knife, Jack Slasher had come to carve pumpkins! Everyone said that Jack Slasher had killed the boy & taken his clothes, they saw him set into a pumpkin with murderous glee, animals disappeared, trails through the corn & wheat fields would mysteriously appear & he would scratch words into the barns & fences in the farmland. If you don't behave - Jack Slasher will get you!

  HERE COME MORE DUNGEON DEGENERATES CHARACTER PACK ADD-ONS!

 

DUNGEON DEGENERATES CHARACTER PACK - CARNIVAL DRIFTER & SOLDIER OF FORTUNE ($13)

The Carnival Drifter & Soldier of Fortune join the party! You get two new character cards with 2 skill cards, 4 loot cards & standees of the characters!

The Carnival Drifter was raised by a Circus Clown & a Bearded Lady in a travelling carnival caravan of entrepreneurial entertainers. Growing up on the road, surrounded by weirdos, freaks & misfits who had figured out how to survive using their outsider status, the Carnival Drifter recognized that the travelling carnival was still a jail sentence, despite its superficial freedoms. Taking her carnival skills out of the carnival & onto the streets of Brüttelberg gave her free rein in the open world, but she soon found that society was a jail unto itself. Armed with her Barbed Whip & Fortune Cards, the Carnival Drifter is a master in extracting a living from the citizens of the Würstreich who hunger for distractions from their messy world. 

The Soldier of Fortune was born to lose but lives to win! In the political chaos of the Würstreich there are endless jobs available for someone willing to pick up a sword, overlook their morals & allegiances & fight for whoever hands over the gold. The Soldier of Fortune is this man, a beer drinker & hell-raiser who will lend his blade to whoever is paying. He is found in the dingier, less trodden pubs in Brüttelberg with his Bastard Sword & Shoddy Shield, ready to join the road crew.

DUNGEON DEGENERATES CHARACTER PACK - RIVER PIRATE & DISHONORED KNIGHT ($13)

The River Pirate & Dishonored Knight join the party! You get two new character cards with 2 skill cards, 4 loot cards & standees of the characters!

The River Pirate grew up in the Fishmonger's Camp but the daily drudgery of catching & processing fish was not for her. Her loud-mouth & rough & tumble impatience was not suiting of the pragmatic discipline of the fish mongers so she took to walking the length of the rivers instead of mending nets, filleting scrog & jellying eels. It was while wandering the rivers & coming across the easy marks trying to make their way that she decided to be a River Pirate. Armed with her Throwing Axe & Lucky Tattoo, the River Pirate drinks blood from the river arteries of the Würstreich. 

The Dishonored Knight was once a loyal servant at arms of Haus Füdlibürger in Brüttelberg until they were methodically dismantled, illegalized & executed by Haus Bäredräck in the terrifying Fleischwolfnacht or Night of the Meat Grinder. The Dishonored Knight being not of royal blood decided to live another day instead of meeting his destiny on that bloody night & escaped to Pigskin Port where he found work as a watchman. Armed with a Polearm & Breastplate, the Dishonored Knight has lost his high position in society but is still duty-bound to protect.
