About this board game

Ohio Bob is a 30-minute dungeon crawler for 1–2 players, inviting you to explore an ancient temple in search of the Kachapacha amulet. Play solo, or team up with a friend to investigate a mirror temple cooperatively.

Inspired by vintage video games, the game challenges you to make it through all three levels of the temple before your supplies run out. Along the way, you must search for hidden gems that can help deactivate the terrible trap protecting the amulet.

Every card is double-sided, presenting either a tool or amulet on one side and part of the temple on the other. This creates a constant choice between collecting useful equipment and revealing more of the temple as you push deeper into the adventure.

  • Play solo or cooperatively with a friend.
  • Explore two different temples, including a mirror temple for cooperative play.
  • Juggle tools and temple exploration using double-sided cards.
  • Reach the deepest level, unlock the hidden amulet, and avoid losing all your health.

Victory comes from surviving the temple’s three floors and unlocking the hidden amulet before your health is gone. With its compact format and clear adventure objective, Ohio Bob offers a focused race through an ancient ruin where every card can support your expedition or reveal the path ahead.
