About the Game

dire is a solo, 18 card, adventure game set in the far future depleted world, where rare crystals power many of the found remnants of technology from earlier ages.

Select your character, companion, an item, and a weapon, then flip the remaining 14 cards to create your adventure map. Work your way through the 14 quest cards carefully to collect the six crystals needed to win the game.

Play a single game, or play a campaign of 4 games, each game using a different character.

dire is based on 14 Quests a finalist in Button Shy Games' No Shuffle Contest.
