Description

Tike’s Dungeon can be played as a solo adventure or as a 2-4 player co-op. Above that, it can be played in two different styles: Turn-based board game where players take turns to explore the crypt and battling creatures and the narrative-driven role-playing game (RPG). In both styles of play, the players will take on the role of a Tike and are highly encouraged to interact with and help each other.

The Cubs graduate at the age of 7 when they become CIBs (Combat Initiative Bloomer). CIBs practice with dull metal weapons, begin to learn the bow and learn the value of respecting and helping their parents. It’s an important lesson, you know? Finally, at the harsh age of 11, Bloomers get promoted to the Raivynwood CIA (Combat Initiative Adepts). As a junior member of the Raivynwood CIA it is your duty to train hard and watch over your small piece of paradise when the grownups aren’t around.
On this day, of all days… the day on which the grownups have all gone to the eastern forest edge to confront a new lizardfolk threat… misfortune has stricken. As you and your fellow CIA members train in the city square, showing off your moves and flirting with your crush, you are disrupted…"
