What it is
Cursed!? is a quick, solo, push your luck, fantasy themed game that takes no more than 10 minutes to setup and play. Push your luck with every draw and consider the best time to use your precious items. Items you find are extremely powerful when used at opportune times and help mitigate a bad weapon draw or a monster with a nasty trait. Play too safe or push your luck too hard and you won't acquire the 8 souls needed to live!
Lore
You have been cursed by a witch! The only way to get it lifted is to take on monsters in the nearby dark forest and gather souls for the witch. Help her complete her ritual and she’ll lift the curse. The curse is quickly draining your life and causes everything you touch to turn to ash within moments. Make the best of what you find on long dead adventurers by looting their weapons and items.
Quick game!
Only have 10 minutes to spare? It's got a 10 second setup time - Seriously! A game of Cursed!? typically lasts 3-6 Minutes once you know the rules. Shuffle the single deck of cards and pull a starting item, that's it you're ready! No dice or knick knacks, easy to learn, takes up very little table space and comes in a tin for easy travel.
Small Deck, Mighty Replayability
The deck is designed to do multiple things. The draw pile also acts as your remaining HP. There are 3 copies of 10 unique cards. Each card has 3 functions:
Devious Monsters
One side is the monsters you face. Some have tricky traits, such as exploding after a single hit. Others guard items you can loot.
Tools to Get the Job Done
One side is the weapons you use against the monsters, Anything from daggers that can hit for a light attack or crit for heavy damage to fireball spells and spears that can be either ranged or melee.
Sweet Sweet Loot
The last side has powerful items you can use to mitigate any bad luck. Run across a monster you don't want to deal with? Use the scroll of purge life and instantly capture the monsters soul. Perhaps you will run across a Mimic instead and have a fight on your hands you didn't anticipate.

Lovely little game, hard as nails though - I can't seem to win! I'm sure I just need to get good though. I wish more or all game designers would make print and play versions of their games available!
Hey Juten, If you would like some tips from the designer I have a few :)
The items are best used when you can get max value out of them and save the most amount of hp loss. Most ignore the traits too.
The more you play you may notice you use a lot of a certain weapon power early on and you will have a better feeling when pushing your luck if you will pull them later when you need.
Lastly it's balanced so that you cant play too safe and you cant push too often, got to find a good balance.
That said it is push your luck and sometimes luck is not on your side - my win rate as the designer is about 85%.
Hope that helps and thank you so much for giving my game a chance!
Would love to hear feedback, here or BGG. Thanks for checking out the game!
