Baldrick’s Tomb is a roguelike board game for 1-4 players, ages 8 and up, that plays in about 30-45 minutes. The game’s lore centers on an ancient tomb that is being thrashed by the ghost of an evil sorcerer. His spirit has taken to constantly churning the inner walls of his massive resting place, resulting in an ever-changing landscape on each floor.
