Greetings, brave Forge adventurers!
As you may have seen, The Forge just celebrated five amazing years of worldbuilding, dice-rolling, and digital adventuring with you, our incredible community. As part of that celebration, we wanted to give you something special: something playful, a little mysterious, and distinctly Forge.
Enter: Dungeon Solitaire – a spiritual sequel to last year’s Holiday Solitaire, and the next step in our lineup of mini-games designed to brighten your TTRPG downtime.
While Holiday Solitaire offers calm cheer and seasonal charm, Dungeon Solitaire invites you to descend into danger, strategy, and a little bit of delightful frustration. A dungeon crawl re-imagined through a deck of cards. 👀
What is Dungeon Solitaire?
Dungeon Solitaire is a fantasy dungeon-crawling twist on solo card games. Inspired by Scoundrel, this challenge-packed game has you crawling through a perilous dungeon — one card at a time.
You’ll:
- Battle monsters ⚔️
- Manage health and luck 🍀
- And make brutal decisions with every card draw 🧠
It’s simple to start, but survival takes cunning. Can you escape the dungeon deck?
Play It Now – No Install Required!
You can play Dungeon Solitaire right in your browser. Just click the controller icon on the right side of The Forge’s menu bar to kick in the door.
Whether you're:
- Waiting for a TTRPG session to begin,
- Taking a break from writing your next world-shaking encounter,
- Or simply craving a quick card-based challenge...
Dungeon Solitaire is ready whenever you are!
Why Dungeon Solitaire?
After the cheer and success of Holiday Solitaire, we wanted to build something bolder. Dungeon Solitaire offers a new kind of distraction — tougher, trickier, and made with the same love for our community.
It’s our thank-you gift to celebrate five years of The Forge, and to kick off the next chapter in our journey together.
