Lost For Swords is a unique deck-building dungeon crawler that's different each time

There's a lot of dungeon crawlers and deck-builders but Lost For Swords manages to come off a little more unique thanks to the way it shuffles everything together. I had a really great time with some early versions of this one, played it for quite a long time.

Each floor is made up of cards, which are shuffled together with your currently built deck of equipment cards and then placed randomly across the board for you to explore. As you move from tile to tile, you'll pick up your equipment but you only get to use each item once. So a lot of Lost For Swords is about managing the individual steps you take, a game of tactical planning on deciding your route and how to best deal with each enemy. It's really interesting to play!
