How to Play:

The goal of the game is to get your dudes to the highest level of tower. You start the game with a single floor and after your dudes reach the end of that floor you build next. This continues until you reach the target floor.

The game is broken up into two phases:

 - Build Phase (active)

- Ascend Phase (passive)

In the Build Phase you must pick from the selection of rooms on the right and place them on the current floor. There are always two required rooms which you must place and contain dangerous enemies or traps that damage your dudes. There are also additional  optional rooms which you may spend gold on that can improve your dudes' chances of surviving the dangerous required rooms.

In the Build Phase you can also manage your dude's equipment, hire more dudes, and roll for random gear. It is generally always a good idea to have many dudes in your retinue.

In the Ascend Phase, sit back, relax, and watch your dudes ascend the tower. They will automatically progress from room to room and floor to floor, defeating enemies, earning gold, and equipping any items they find that are better than what they currently have. Once they have reached the top of the tower the build phase will start again.
