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!
Check it out on BGG here: Cursed!?
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 thier weapons and items.
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.
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:
One side is the monsters you face. Some have tricky traits, such as exploding after a single hit. Others guard items you can loot.
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.
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.
Check out the videos to see it in action! Thank you for your time and consideration!

"can be played anywhere anytime, a perfect travel game"
It appears as a simple deck of cards with rules that make the game sound easy, that's not true. It takes some risk taking, a pinch of luck, and some math to beat this game. Goalnis to capture 8 souls...
Quick and compact. Easy to take on the go and play wherever you're free. It's possible to win even if you have a crummy first couple of draws.
I got in on the crowdfund campaign for this. i love it! such a clever utilization of each card to represent 3 separate uses. And the gameplay is quick, easy and fun! I haven't won a single game yet bu...

Enjoyable game. Quick, fun, simple rules. The 'mint tin' presentation and card art is great!
I love this game! It plays so fast, which is great when you're you're looking for something to fill a few minutes of downtime. It's definitely NOT an easy win, if fact I lose WAY more than I win, but ...
Probably my most played Mint Tin game. Quick, simple, and fun.
Really fun to play & have. A must have game. You won't be disappointed.
I enjoy this game quite a bit and use it when I have a few minutes ere I need a mental distraction. It is well done and compelling to keep playing.
CURSED!? is such a great game. I can't recommend this game enough. Such a brilliant concept, and the replayability is off the charts. I'm so happy I purchased this game! I recommend this game to e...
It is a puck your luck game that takes up 5 minutes of your time. Yes, it is random and decision-making is limited but it is a pleasant way to pass a few minutes at least of your time.
A lot to love here. I almost wonder if he lucked into how well it turned out though. Has a dungeon crawler feel, but is "clicky" like solitaire. great variations game to game, great balance (I've play...
This apparently simple game keeps me coming back to play over and over again. Every time I think I am through with it beating me, I eek out that eighth soul and think "just one more time." Of course...
Great game all around; fast, fun and challenging to win. Once won, there is no pattern to do the same again, which makes for excellent replay value. Being a mint tin game, it's very easy to take along...
Super fun game to play on the go, art work is great gameplay is nice and is probably the easiest game to learn except for some hiden ish rules (Overkill rule doesn’t make to much sense)
Tiny, fast, awesome. Hard to win (8 souls) but if you get lucky you can win 9 and even 10+ souls. Which makes every run so exciting - what will happen next time? Everything goes very quick. Every run ...
Really nice short game. Super fun
Excellent game! It’s just as fun as all of the reviews say. If you are a TGC regular and have not bought this game, add it to your cart now. And get it with your next big purchase. You won’t be disapp...
I was sure it was unwinnable--but I couldn't stop from playing just-one-more game. They key is a mix of strategy, luck, and knowing when not to push your luck (but it's so hard to resist!). I've won a...
For me, this checks all of the boxes! It's fun, light, and FAST. You can play 3-4 games in 10 minutes once you've gotten used to it. For the price, this game cannot be beat!f you're reading this, buy ...
Best gift ever!!!! Love this game-easy to pick up and play, some much replay value, and doesn't take up a lot of space so I can play anywhere. Thank you Santa for the stocking stuffer.
One of the fastest fun Solo games!
Great challenge level not too easy just hard enough to make you play a few more round for a win. It small size and ease of play completes with Any “Button Shy Game”. Purchases extra this holiday as ...
Cursed!? is an absolute blast! It is unbelievably easy to learn and takes only a couple of minutes to play. Goblin Hour Games has knocked it out of the park with Cursed!? It's reasonably priced and ha...
This is a great addition to my gaming library. Fits a unique niche as a very quick and fun adventure that can be played anywhere. I can't recommend highly enough. Hoping for more in this line.
This is a quick little mutli use card game that despite so few cards, is very replayable and soooo addictive.
Fun, compact, solo game. Great for travel or a quick 10 minute break.
The perfect little game to pass some time with! I keep this tucked in my lunch bag. The 3-5 minute play time is perfect for one quick game. It certainly has that "just one more..." draw to it also.
Quick game I can fit into any schedule. Great for travel, easy to play, and fun! What else could I ask for?
A surprisingly solid and engaging Pusher luck game in 30 cards. The multi-use cards do quadruple duty as your hit points, your items, your weapons, and the monsters you're hunting. The game is very f...
This is a quick and fun blackjack style game. Love the artwork! Looking forward to possible expansions I read about on Reddit. Recommended!
Nice artwork and the game pretty easy to play (not win). It has a tiny footprint and is fun to play when I need to exercise my memory or waiting for food to arrive. There is a good amount of replay v...
The art drew me in, but the game play keeps me coming back. My job requires me to hold in phone queues for extended periods of time, and this game is perfect to keep my mind engaged while I'm waiting....
Very awesome game! Thank you very much!
Very nice solo game. Super compact, perfect game to bring in your backback (or even your pocket!). Really not easy, and very random, giving it a high replay value, especially if you like blackjack, as...
Its a fun, quick game that i can fit in at lunch. I love the simplicity and the complex strategy of card counting along with just a little bit of chance. Super entertaining and replayable.
Just completed a game, times in less than three minutes. It's certainly as quick as it says. It's also beautiful, not just the artwork but the simplicity and flow of the game overall.
I wish there were more games like this. It plays so fast that I must have said "I'll just play one more..." about three times!
What a fantastic little game. In my opinion, this is what a buttonshy / Mint tin game should feel like!
I picked up Cursed!? when it was on crowd sale at the Gamecrafter. The artwork looked and the the gameplay sounded intriguing: fun, quick, solo, easy to figure out. My kind of game. After watching a w...
What a great game! It looks great, just cards in a tin but so damn much fun! Play is easy to understand and it is addictive! I won the first game with 9 creatures captured and the curse lifted but los...
Great little game, with small footprint and readily transportable in the pocket. Rules are clear and easy to understand, but winning is a different thing! Surprisingly replayable and only requires a ...
As a very casual gamer I really love this one! It’s extremely simple and quick to play. The artwork is pretty rad too. Although I’d love to see an expansion, I’d honestly really dig if this creator ma...
Simple, fast, fun, and does not overstay its welcome (though usually I play best out of three). A fun addition to my collection.
Quick game. Easy Rules. Much variability due to multi-use cards. NOT FIDDLY. No need for health tracker - your deck is your life! .No deck left? Better have killed 8 monsters! Just sayin’! Get it, b...
Love it, quick set up, quick play time, and with a good amount of decision space for what it is. This is what I've wanted out of a tin game, something I can truly pick up at any time without needing t...
You can literally play this game in a one foot square area. Great travel game. Easy to play but hard to win. Would love to see an expansion.
Great quick solo game. Lots of fun and great replay value.
