Hand-drawn deck for Scoundrel, the solitaire dungeon crawling game

Happy new year!

Yesterday I played a lot of Scoundrel. Scoundrel is a wonderful little solitaire dungeon crawling game, created by Zach Gage and Kurt Bieg. You can find the rules here (free PDF). The game is played with a standard deck of cards. E.g., a 10 of Spades is a monster of level 10, an 8 of Diamonds is a weapon with 8 damage, and so on. I drew my own minideck, with little images for all the monsters and items.

Download the deck from here,

or from itch.io (it's free, of course),

cut it up & play!!

Have fun!

On the itch page, you can also download a template for you to draw your own deck.

And a drawing by my wife, a PLANT + SKELETON combo which she interpreted as a dried husk of a plant with teeth:
