Brave Delvers from across the realm have journeyed to seek their fortune within the dungeons of Skull Cavern. Gold, treasures, and perilous encounters await behind every door! Grab your gear, sharpen your swords, and watch out for those kobolds! In Delve, players guide their band of adventurers through the dungeons of Skull Cavern. Each turn place a dungeon tile and an adventurer, exploring the dangers below and searching for loot. When a room or corridor is completed, Delvers must fight for their share of the gold and treasure. But if a player manages to complete a room alone, they must overcome dangerous encounters before collecting their riches. Delve combines tile-laying and an immersive narrative experience in a new and exciting way.
