But be quick, as the end of the world is not the only obstacle between you and infinite riches. There are other scavengers out there too, and you never know what they will be willing to do to secure that treasure…

--Preceding description from publisher

In Disastles, there are four types of cards: throne rooms, outer rooms, vaults, and disasters. Each player begins with a throne room and builds a castle. The game ends when 6 disaster cards have been played. The winner is the player who survives the disasters with the most treasure from their vaults.

On your turn you may: play a card from the shop, swap two of your rooms, move one of your outer rooms, or use an action room. Many room cards have text which can be activated by matching the connection point(s) on neighboring room cards. When disasters are drawn, all players immediately take damage. Damage can be mitigated by matched room connections. If a player is unable to negate all the damage, they must sacrifice a room for each point of damage. If a player's throne room is sacrificed the player is eliminated.
