Sure, your first dungeon delve may have felt easy. You may have even managed to pull out a victory. But gaining entry to the Adventurers Guild is just the start of your training to become a world class explorer. Guild members know, it’s best to introduce challenges slowly and to teach new skills only when the trainee is ready for them. Get ready adventurer, because you don’t know what’s in store for you!
In Lairs, the new dungeon crawling adventure game from Christopher Westmaas and KTBG, you and an opponent build a twisting labyrinth with walls, traps, treasures, and monsters. In your very first foray into the underground catacombs, you’ll be limited in the options available to you. Standard level monsters and traps are best for training novice adventurers, but as time goes on, all of that will change.
As you play Lairs, you will have the opportunity to unlock more content as you progress. Hidden in boxes and envelopes are lots of new elements for the game. Of course, there are more dangerous monsters and traps for you to discover and fill your dungeon with. Just remember, anything you can put in your dungeon, your opponent will be able to do the same and you might have to face them at some point yourself.
Training doesn’t just come with tough challenges. You will also learn new skills that will help with your exploration. These powerful abilities help in ways you can’t even imagine…yet. If used correctly, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a dungeon crawling master! If that wasn’t enough incentive, the treasures you’ll be able to find in the dungeons will become more and more valuable over time.
Opening boxes and envelopes changes the games and offers new ways to play. As an adventurer, you can decide how quickly you want to add new elements to the game and how you want to scale up the challenge. If you decide you want to start the adventure from the beginning, resetting the game is a breeze with each item labeled which box or envelope it came from. You can play a simpler version of the game or a new player can discover it for the first time.
Lairs is an evolving gaming experience. Every time you play, you’ll use your own creativity to build a dungeon labyrinth. No two games will ever be the same. With unlockable content being introduced as you play, the depth of strategy will grow along with your skill level.
There are secrets waiting for you in the dark. We’ve mentioned some in this article, but there are more surprises to be discovered. What’s hiding around the next corner? The only way to know for sure, is to play!
Lairs is coming to Kickstarter on November 12. Sign up for a Launch Day Reminder here.
