UNDERMINED
A downloadable print & play game
What is Undermined?
Undermined is a race game about the Badger Clan and the Mole Clan, two allied forces who are attempting to breach the Castle of the Snail. Whilst they are allies, they both want the glory that comes with taking the keep...
The Castle of the Snail is a formidable fortress however and an all out assault is doomed to fail so it's over to the Engineers to tunnel beneath the walls.
Go head to head against the rival team, the first to reach the Keep with an intact tunnel wins. But be vigilant, as digging a tunnel under heavy castle walls is tricky and with one wrong move the whole tunnel could come crashing down on your head...
A game of risk and reward, Undermined is played with dice and small square cards that form a tapestry of tunnels and castle walls. Play your cards, roll your dice and get digging!

Hi! The rules reference a dice chart to know how many dice to roll for tunnel collapses but there doesn't seem to be one included. :(
I was able to make one up but was just curious if there is an official one somewhere.
Hi!
There should be one on the instructions sheet, I think on the left hand side? It’s less of a formal table and more a bullet pointed list I believe. I might see if I can produce one and add it as a separate file but If you want to post yours I can attach it and credit you too!
Hope you enjoy the game!!
Love the design! It looks like you printed them as textured business cards...? The format reminds me very slightly of the Japanese Rocca Games - did you take inspiration from anywhere in particular?
Thank you!! I printed them on linen paper which tends to be used for more formal stuff so I guess it does have that business card look! I wanted a game that could be all made from cards of one small size so that’s why I went for the square shape too. I haven’t heard of Japanese Rocca Games but they sound interesting so I’ll look them up! And as for inspiration I just kind of sketch on photoshop until I hit on a design style that I like and I think works so there wasn’t anything in particular that inspired the visuals. Thanks for taking a look at my stuff!! Really appreciate it.
