About this expansion

Cutthroat Caverns: Deeper & Darker is a 2007 expansion for 3–6 players with an approximately 90-minute play time. As the first expansion to Cutthroat Caverns, it adds new threats and gives character choice a greater impact.

The quest remains focused on escaping alive with the Sacred Item of Unimaginable Marvel. Fifteen new monsters stand in the way, creating more obstacles on the journey and more opportunities to turn those obstacles against the other players.

These monsters are not only dangers to overcome. They can also be used against your friends as they try to escape with the artifact. Every encounter contributes to the struggle to be the player left standing with the most Prestige when the dust settles.

  • Fifteen new monsters to hinder the escape and use against rival players
  • One unique ability for each character, usable once per game
  • Greater impact in character choice as players pursue the most Prestige

Each character now brings a distinct, limited-use ability to the game. Used at the right moment, this once-per-game power might provide the special push needed to secure the artifact and remain ahead of the competition.

Deeper & Darker expands the conflict of Cutthroat Caverns without losing sight of its central goal: escape with the sacred artifact while ensuring that your rivals do not do the same. With new monsters and character abilities, it adds more ways for the struggle over Prestige to unfold.
