Brought to us by Brotherwise Games, Boss Monster is a dungeon-building game that was originally designed to be played with cards.

In doing so, they created a straight digital conversion of the tabletop game, so players will be using digital cards to create their dungeons, in the hopes of keeping this version as close to the original as possible, while taking advantage of the CPU speed up the calculations within the game.

Mind you we recommend using a tablet as it provides a bit more space to have everything in front of you.
