A Dungeon Builder, Autobattler and Deckbuilder in one. They call themselves “heroes”. You call them gold suppliers. Dig your domain, build deadly traps, place guards and play powerful cards as ever-stronger “heroes” invade your dungeon. Take their gold and build the World Domination Machine.
About this game
Your ultimate goal is within reach – world domination is close.
Deep beneath the earth lies your domain. This is where you can complete your grand plan. But driven by curiosity, brave fools keep coming to rob you. Their gold is the key to your rule.
Your advantage: You are smarter than these “heroes”. Let them in, well prepared, and fulfill your destiny.
01 Build a Dungeon That Does the Killing for You
Prepare your dungeon for the coming threat. Expand it with new rooms, build traps and arrange them into deadly combinations. Create guards and place them strategically so they can actively support your defenses during battle.
02 Let the Heroes In
Once your dungeon is ready, let the “heroes” in. They enter your domain in search of glory and loot. But every step brings them closer to their doom. Now you will find out whether your dungeon lives up to its promise.
03 Play Your Cards Wisely
You are not defenseless. Use strategic deck building to expand your deck with powerful cards. Play them at the right moment, because a well-timed card can decisively change the course of a battle.
04 Grow Stronger
Every defeated hero brings you gold. Invest it in new research, unlock more traps, guards and upgrades, and improve your dungeon from round to round.
05 Build the World Domination Machine
The heroes’ gold is the key to your rule. Use it to complete the components of your World Domination Machine. Finish your masterpiece and seize world domination.

You can now jump in, build your dungeon, place traps and guards, play powerful cards, and let those brave “heroes” discover why invading your domain was a terrible idea. This playtest is an important step for us. We want to see how the game feels in real hands: what works, what is confusing, what breaks, and which parts already deliver that satisfying “yes, my dungeon plan actually worked” feeling. What to Expect Build and expand your dungeon. Place traps and guards to prepare for incoming heroes. Survive battle rounds against increasingly dangerous attackers. Use cards to turn fights in your favor. Collect gold and push your evil master plan forward. Some things may still be rough, unbalanced, or unfinished. That is exactly why this playtest exists. Your feedback will help shape the next steps. How You Can Help Play the game, try strange strategies, and tell us what happened. The easiest way to send feedback is through the in-game feedback form.
