The Temple of Karthis is a solo dungeon crawling game using cards and dice.

Each turn, the player will roll dice to generate the immediate layout of the dungeon and then draw cards to see what threats are present, if any.

If a threat is determined, the player will then roll a die to see how well he or she did in overcoming the obstacle.

However, treasures are also likely to appear instead of, or with, a threat.

The game is completed when the prized relic, the Jeweled Crown of Karthis, is found.

At which time, the explorer will add their collected treasures and note the dungeon level they completed the game on.

The game can be replayed as often as desired, with the player gaining a benefit for how far they have ventured in previous journeys.

As such, the game lends itself to a ‘beat the high score’ type of game, with the player attempting to reach a higher score with each play through.

(Cover art was created using pieces of public domain art.)

Update: Cards have been added to the files.

The 34 cards replace the playing cards.
Both the Spades and the Clubs suits are represented by Skulls to simplify things a bit.
The two crowns replace the Joker cards. You still need to collect both to find the Crown.
And there is only one enemy card, since you'll only ever use just one in a game.
This will also eliminate the extra step of randomly drawing an enemy card.

All art was taken from Public Domain images and edited extensively.

I hope the cards help give the game a bit more thematic flavor.

Update 2: I added separate image files for the Graph Sheets and the Tiles Chart.

A really fun solitaire card based game with some dungeon mapping thrown in.
