Cursed!? (2023)

About this game

Cursed!? is a quick, solo, push your luck, fantasy themed game. You have been cursed by a witch and the only way to get it lifted is to take on nearby monsters in the dark forest and gather some souls for the witch so she can complete her ritual and lift the curse on you. The curse causes everything you touch to turn to ash so you have to use weapon and items you find on long dead adventurers. This means every weapon and item you get is random and you have to make the best of what you draw. Due to the push your luck nature of the game the items you can find are extremely powerful when used at opportune times and help mitigate a bad weapon draw or a monster with a nasty trait. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 1 player — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
