Sanctum

Description

--- "Sanctum" is a competitive strategy game where players race unique characters through a fallen city, building skills to defeat the Demon Lord, with victory to the survivor having most health. Key mechanics include: - *Character selection* Players control one of four unique characters with distinct skill sets. - *Fast leveling* Frequent opportunities to choose and upgrade skills after fights. - *Core actions* Move to engage demons, Fight to kill them for upgrades and items, Rest to equip loot, recharge resources, and buy potions. - *Racing interaction* Competitive positioning for board progress, draft choices, demon groups, and achievements. - *Boss battle resolution* All players fight Demon Lord; player with most remaining health claims victory. Sanctum is a brisk, competitive strategy board game inspired by hack-and-slash RPGs, featuring overlapping turns for dynamic play. Players select one of four unique characters to traverse the path through the fallen city of Sanctum toward the Demon Lord. Progression involves strategic choices among three actions: Move to advance and engage demon minions, Fight to battle engaged demons—gaining skill upgrades and items upon kills—or Rest to equip acquired loot, recharge fighting resources, and trade excess items for potions. Though competitive, players collaborate against demons in a race dynamic: vying for furthest board position, first pick in equipment drafts, prime demon encounters, achievement bonuses, and final boss advantages. Multiple players may survive the challenging Demon Lord battle, but only the one with the most health afterward purifies Sanctum and claims ultimate glory. Every decision, from skill selection during rapid leveling to resource management, proves critical in this tense, interactive journey. ---
