A Cooperative Descent
Slay the Spire: The Board Game is a co-operative deck-building, dungeon-crawling adventure. Craft a unique deck, encounter bizarre creatures, discover relics of immense power, and finally become strong enough to slay the Spire! Each player starts with a character with unique abilities and a simple deck of cards that they can improve by adding and removing cards during the game.
 
The Rogue-like Challenge
Slay the Spire is also a rogue-like. That means that when you die (and you will die!), you must start over from the beginning. Take the lessons you learned and try again! When a player’s HP is reduced to 0, they are dead and the party loses the game.
 
Progressing Through the Acts
The game is divided into Acts. At the end of an Act, you can continue, stop and end the adventure there, or save and continue another time! Which Boss you consider to be final depends on how many Acts you want to play. You can stop playing at the end of any Act—but if players manage to defeat the final Boss, they win the game!
