The Cloud Dungeon is a Papercraft RPG that you cut apart as you play – it's a book that transforms into a tabletop game. You and your fellow dungeon greedy friends are headed to a Cloud Dungeon to seek your fortune – mostly the piles of gold and jewels, as seen on the Cloud Dungeon informercials. As you progress through the book, learning the rules as you go, creating your characters, coloring them, customizing them – you have a shared creative experience. You work together to make challenging choices, you team up against huge beasts, and you end up telling your own unique story as a team, or as a family.
