Flames & Fortune

In the Dungeons of the Dragon's Keep…

there are treasures abound. You are a thief who has made it to the lowest levels in search of Loot, adventure, and - most recently - a way out! Monsters and the Dragon lurk throughout the Dungeons, and with each piece of Loot you claim, the threat of discovery grows. The Dungeons are an ever-changing labyrinth; find the Dragon's Key, dare to claim the Dragon Gems, and escape with your life. 

What is Flames & Fortune?

Flames & Fortune is a tabletop push-your-luck, dungeon crawler, adventure game for 1 or 2 players. You will explore the procedurally generated Dungeons of the Dragon's Keep (over a billion possibilities), discovering Loot, navigating Traps, avoiding or defeating Monsters, and possibly facing down the Dragon itself. With the Dragon's Key in hand, you can escape the Dungeons and tally your score based on the Loot you've escaped with.  For every piece of Loot you hold, the threat of the Dragon appearing grows, and holding the Dragon Gems increases the power of the Monsters you might face.  Attempt unique challenges, harder modes, and more!
