TorchLit

Torchlit is a trick-taking card game set in a dungeon-crawling fantasy world, where players use their cards to explore deeper into the dungeon while competing to win tricks and score points.

Each round, players play cards in classic trick-taking fashion, but with thematic twists that tie into the dungeon setting. Cards represent characters, abilities, or actions, and winning or losing tricks can impact how your exploration unfolds.

The game blends familiar trick-taking structure with a light thematic layer, making it approachable for new players while still offering interesting decisions for those who enjoy card games.
