- How to play Clear the Dungeon, a modern taken on traditional solitaire. When I designed this game, I was playing a lot of classic solitaire games like Klondike and Pyramid. I wanted to add my own interpretation to the mix, so I created Clear the Dungeon. I hope you enjoy it!

If you play Clear the Dungeon, it would be super helpful for you to leave a review on BoardGameGeek: boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/329483/clear-dungeon
A cool name could be “Clear the castle”
Revolution in the ramparts, alternatively, regicide in the ramparts :p
also "Head Hunter"
The name "Clear The Dungeon" has an old style RPG vibe I really love. Cheers from Spain, m8!
Thanks!! ☺️
I’m glad I stumbled across this. This one is pretty fun (and the concept is similar to Pyramid with the addition). And the fact you can lose in the last hand keep you on your toes. I lost 2 of 3 games in the last hand
Def a winner and on my list of solo card games. Great job making this game!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoy it. =^)
Grid Canon is amazing, I’m so glad to find a game similar to it. This one might actually be easier for my kids to pick up! Thanks!
Hope you enjoy it!
I came across this mentioned in a comment on a gridcannon video. Great use of the concept for a simpler, quick game. Great job.
Awesome, thank you!
I love this game been playing for over a month. But at times it becomes really repetitive. I'm trying to slightly modify the game so it can be more risk taking by trying to make the game more like an rpg. I've thought about still making the face cards the monsters but their health is now increased to J-20 Q-22 K-25 Instead of 4 columns it can be 1 or 2. While making the value cards (including ace and joker) something like an attack and defend. Value cards 1-5 are attack cards while value cards 6-10 are defend cards. Attack cards the damage is the number on the card same for defense. Your health pool is 100. You take damage by the amount of health left of the monster after your turn. You still pull 3 cards.
Example: J is the first monster I encounter. I pull 3 cards a 3, 7, and 4. I deal seven damage and defend 7 hits of damage. Put those cards in the discard pile. The monster attacks for 13. I have 87 health left. I then pull an A and a joker. Those cards are wild cards which can be used for healing, damage, or shield. Later once all your cards are in the discard pile just shuffle it a couple times.
This idea of making a card game like this can become really fun especially with friends. It's still in the works. I need to do a bunch of math and logical reasoning to make it a perfect game. It has risk, strategy, and it makes things more interesting but like I said it's still in the works. But any help creating a card game like this would be awesome. Hell even make a game like this yourself.
I am glad you are enjoying the game!
Ooo, I like this modification to the game. Have you got it dialed in yet since it’s been a few months?
this looks really fun! I was looking for unique solitaire games, thanks for making this!!
Thank you, Nick Nack! Check out my Baseball game as well. You can totally play it as a solitaire game.
Looks like a simpler version of Gridcannon! It's cool and takes up less space! Although, I think I still favour the "board" aspect of Grincannon, Clear the dungeon seems like a great alternative :)
Sweet! Yea grid cannon and joker jailbreak were inspirations for this. I essentially wanted a simpler version of those games that felt more like a classic solitaire. Glad you enjoy it!
Really glad I found this video, I think this game is so cool and I'll be testing this out!
I thought my grandmother this game, but opted to call it Regicide instead as "Clear the Dungeon" would have been a foreign concept to her as she isn't really a fantasy person.
I think it makes more sense anyways and fits the aesthetics of the face cards to imagine yourself assassinating royal families.
You can call it anything that helps. Heck, just call it Solitaire :) Hope your grandmother enjoyed it.
There is another card game called regicide that is also very fun. Had a solo variant as well. I highly recommend checking it out.
Unless I'm mistaken this is also referred to as regecide. I know there's a solitaire game using normal that has been around forever with that name and I believe these are the rules.
I love the name Regicide! It sounds so grand and aesthetically fitting!
But other than that, it's a really exciting game! I'd love to give this a try!
I totally thought the same thing. Regicide sounds epic. Alternatively, I think Uprising would be apt too.
I just recently found your channel. I really love this game. I’ve been playing it a ton. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the kind words. I am ver glad you enjoy the game!
This is so amazing,the attack card managing aspect of this game creates tention and makes the game challenging,almost like managing a limited emount of bullets. Imagine a deck of cards made specifically for this and the face cards having monsters for their pictures!
Wow, this is truly outstanding!! Just had a couple of lovely gameplays. Thank you!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! I am happy you enjoy the game =^)
I played it today and it's a really cool game to play alone! Thank you for the idea!
You are welcome 🤗 I am so glad you enjoy the game!
Huge congratulations on this! This is a great game. Thank you!
I’m glad you enjoy it. Thank you for playing 🙂
Really cool deck! 😍
Looks great. I'm going to try it out.
this is so much fun! thank you so much!
and I even feel it's kind of customizable with for example a dice that gives any given monster a certain bonus👀
I’m glad you enjoy the game. I like your dice idea. I feel like there is still room for this game to grow. Thanks for playing!
@@riffleshuffleandroll I've now had some time to think about the dice.
For single player: two dice, and whatever their sum is, the monsters are immune against that number for the turn example: 6 and 4 -> the monsters are immune against tens
And if both are the same, they're immune both against the sums as well as a single di example: 5 and 5 -> immune against 5 and 10
Multiplayer:
The card setup is the same for both players, and you roll for the immunities of your opponents monsters.
Dice difference: if both di show the same number you get to decide one number instead of the two in single player
just bought a deck to play this game and its amazing thank you!
I am glad you enjoy it!!
Great game! It’s a really neat idea : )
It got me experimenting
I played a couple rounds then started playing with some different rules. For example if you use the same suit and it adds up perfectly, no activation card required! I also added the ability to pile on cards of the same suit, giving you more chances to get that perfect match. You can still add another card from a different suit, just treat the cumulative cards of the same suit as one card, making sure the cumulative value is over the face card’s value. This ends the streak, so you’ve effectively added the second card and have to play a same suit activation card to remove the face card, per normal play,
I played a few rounds with these rules and it wasn’t too overpowered and really made those Jokers more valuable. In the end, I don’t think it added too much complexity but it did add a fun tension. It was a lot of fun! Thank you for this neat single player game, keep up the good work. Solitaire does have it’s limits.
I’m glad you enjoy it. Thanks for sharing your ideas too!
Just played a game of this and lost in the last 3 cards F
but this is still an amazing game, I have a new love for this
Thank you! I am very glad you like it.
same bro same
I just played it and won with literally one card left, I thought I was safe because I had one spare hand after my current hand, but my current hand wasn't enough to take out the last king so I had to discard it. Luckily my last hand had a 7 that i could throw on the 6 that was already placed on the king and had a trigger card :)
This is a fun game and a difficult one! I've played a bunch and lost most of my games, but still like it! The Theory 11 High Victorian deck has the number values of the face cards on the cards making it ideal for playing this game too!
Very nice! I’m glad you enjoy it, and thank you for the Theory 11 tip. :)
What a neat-o card game! I have been playing for the last hours to pass the time, specially because of my anxiety (playing games like these helps me calm down). That is a creative solitaire game! Points to you for being something you made yourself.
Wow, thank you! I am so happy you enjoy it, and I am especially glad it helps calm you down.
My single player RPG
1 deck 1 D20 / or Two 6 sided dice
*Hearts are heath*
*Diamonds are coins*
*Clubs are wilderness*
*Spades are structures*
Draw a heart and stick with that heart. Low numbers don't matter its not gonna make you weaker...rest of hearts are put in pile for later
_Shuffle Club,Spade,Monster,Ace cards_
*Monsters*
_kill by rolling the D20_ or -both 6 sides-
Joker- role 15-20 to kill / or -10-12- ^
King- role 10-15 to kill / or -7-9- ^
Queen- role 5-10 to kill / or -4-6- ^
Jack- role 1-5 to kill / or -1-3- ^
*Battle*
_Both steps are for both outcomes_
*Step 1* role the D20 for you...if you rolled the numbers needed to kill the monster grab a Diamond and keep adventuring.
*Step 2* role the D20 for you...if you didn't roll the number needed to kill the monster roll dice again for the monster and if they role the number of 1/any of your hearts you die.
*Events*
_Every event add a new heart to health_
Ace of spade - Pull next Monster in deck
Ace of heart - Revive and fight a Monster
Ace of Club - Shuffle adventure deck
Ace of Diamond - Lose highest Diamond
I made it up for single player but all you have to do is give a heart card to any other players and each take turns on the adventure...4 is probly the max to still be fun
Comment what you thank about my own card game? If you think it's garbage or good I would love to hear
Weird name...I call it *Deck Devotion*
This sounds interesting! Thank you for sharing. :)
What do the structures and the wilderness mean?
@@patchthepleb absolutely nothing :)
Imagination....🌈
This is amazing!
Thank you ☺️
I'm so happy I found this vid
Cleared it first try AND on my last hand. I really like this one
Happy to hear you enjoy the game!
Awesome idea dude! You should really try to make this more public. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Nicholas. I am glad you like it =^) I will keep it up!
I love Gridcannon. I’ll have to try this game out. It looks fun
Just played a game. It was fun. I won.
Glad you liked it!
Nice creativity, very balanced and it gives you hard decisions. I lost 1 and won 1 this far. Awesome game!
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoy the game. :)
@@riffleshuffleandroll Is there perhaps a heroic mode?
Here is a game that is inspired by Clear the Dungeon. You will find that it is similar, but a little more complex! Let me know what you think! th-cam.com/video/fNLSWuBJm0c/w-d-xo.html
@@riffleshuffleandroll Maybe I'll take a look at it
Cool game glad I found ur vid🙂
Thank you! That means a lot. :)
this is my favorite card game I play it all the time thanks😃
I am glad you enjoy it. Thank you for playing!
Very cool!
Thank you ☺️ I posted a link to the rule document below.
Interesing and amazing
Great game!
I played this game for the first time and fell in love with it it is so much fun!
Thank you! That means a lot to me. I am very glad you like it.
Very nice
very good game thank you
nice game. For me... to have an added element of 'on-going challenge' is to have a high-score that you will want to beat. This score is tallied by adding the value of the cards in the discard pile that was not used to kill a monster. The lower the score the better. So there should be a slight rule change of, when killing a monster that entire combo is mucked/tossed away, so that only discarded card values are added up.
Very good! I will be updating the rules soon. I would like to include this. :)
LOL, upon seeing this, I've begun trying to think of a way to play this in a spreadsheet, and I think I may actually be able to do it.
Nice
Great game and wonderful idea. I love it!! While playing I felt like there should be some kind of penalty for discarding a card that you could have played on a top card. So, one method I thought of was to have two discard piles. One would be the discards from the cards that defeated a monster and the other discard pile would be of the cards you decided not to play and these would be a negative point value to your total score. It really makes you think hard on whether you should or should not discard a card that could possible be played on a top card.
Hey, that is a great idea! Thanks for playing and for the kind words. :)
@@riffleshuffleandroll I would love to see this game get its own graphical card makeover. You know, monsters, attack items and the third card could be an attack technique card. That would solidify this game.
@@josephpropati5690 that is on my to do list. :)
@@riffleshuffleandroll I think a game book with all these regular card deck dungeon crawls would be awesome. This would be a great game for a Kickstarter book with a bunch of 1 and 2 deck dungeon crawls.
You can make this is two player game, where the penalty card goes to a common open draw row and the other player can draw it by replacing it with a card they don’t want to use.
With the 2 player version you both will play for the same dungeon(s) Each player plays their own card on their side of the dungeon. The player who can clear out 3 dungeons will win.
There will be only two monsters per dungeon, making 6 dungeons in total.
I have to figure out some game mechanism where you can can steal or destroy cards from the 1:39 opponents row to spice things up, or some deck building inclusion.
Sweet gonna play right now!!
Awesome. I’ve got a new version of this game coming soon! - Mark
@@riffleshuffleandroll Hey Mark, where am I able to find this new version? Cheers!
@@bensmith9428 Hi, Ben! I had to move on from this. For now, Clear the Dungeon 2.0 is sitting on the back burner. :D
@@riffleshuffleandroll Ah, no problem, life gets like that!
love this game!! only thing that would make this better is custom cards! I did find your upgrade and love that as well. I have lots of time to kill and need easy to play minimalist easy to carry games.
I am slowly getting to the point where a custom deck will benefit the game. ☺️
I would love to see the game have more items and more of a deck building system.
This is really fun, i get to play alone, (i dont have anybody😢 ) i am really glad i found this gamr
I’m glad you enjoy it! Pay attention to the website for game updates. I’m working on a couple new features. ☺️
This is a great game - very well thought out! Do you have any written instructions as a guide? Thank you for posting this.
Thanks for the compliment! I will get something typed out to share later today. :)
@@riffleshuffleandroll You're welcome. Thanks. You may want to also post on boardgamegeek.com where they have other type of games like yours.

Pretty fun game when your the only one who’s into playing cards and collecting rn
Edit: I just came up with a multiplayer version where who will finish the dungeon first am probably not the first one to come up with this but I love the way this game can be with people or not!
great game thanks
)
Thank you!
This is fun
I loved that game
Glad you enjoy it!
I tried it and it's really fun
I am glad you like it. Thank you!
Where did you get those awesome looking Bicycle playing cards...I Love the look of them! Thanks😊
They are called the Tragic Royalty playing cards. Should be on Amazon. :D
A solo game or play the game with someone across from you with their own deck of cards and take turns laying down one attack card at a time instead of two and the first person to eliminate their side of the table will be known as the true ruler!
I just found this game and think its great.
I took the liberty to create a duel mode where e the players are merchants.
You try to strike a deal wit the royles.
you need to decks and combine the picture cards in the middle in 4 stacks.
The players take turns with 3 Hand cards and when you can trigger are card you get the royle. Every card the other already had on that card is lost.
I hope this idea has use for someone and thanks for creating the base idea^^
I’ve been mulling this very same idea over for a while now. I should have an official two player version soon. Thank you for sharing!
Ayo, I played this game for 6 rounds and lost all of them :*(
Uh oh! That’s some tough luck.
It might be more fun to call the royal discard pile the graveyard.
That a great idea!!
Use aces high low ,ace of spades beats King of spades outright ,otherwise used as one or discarded .
Should the trigger card be the last move before discarding the cards? Or can I start with triggering a prior combo I set out, get the next "monster card" and use the 2 cards I'm left with on that new monster?
You can trigger, destroy the monster, unveil a new one, and decide how to play your next two cards! That’s the best way to go about it. :)
Random question. When i beat a facecard but still have 1 or 2 face up waiting to be played. Can i clear the face card i beat and flip the new face card or do i have to finish out the hand first?
Flip the face down card over as soon as it is revealed. No need to wait :)
where do you create the illustrative images of the cards to explain your game in pdf? is there a website for this?
I just pinned a comment with the link to the PDF. :)
If you’re into playing Solitaire but find the rules give you too random games, consider
Penguin
La Belle Lucie
Thanks for the suggestions. ☺️
i didnt watch the whole video before playing it and found myself only being able to place cards if my hand can defeat a face card on the board
Can you put more than two attack cards on a monster or is the max attack cards (not including trigger card) the limit?
Only two cards + one trigger
If you run out of cards to draw as your hands what do you do if you need more hands cause I just shuffle the discard pile
If you are unable to clear the dungeon before the draw pile runs out, you lose the game. The dungeon monsters have defeated you. :)
this is a good game
Thank you! I am happy you enjoy it.
fun🤓
use gaff cards for new effects and dice rolls
Do you think this is playable without the jokers? or would it be too difficult
It would be incredibly difficult to win, but you can play without the jokers. ☺️
Is there any other way to play (change the rule I don't know) if you don't have joker ? I'm trying to play without it but I'm always losing the game.
Without jokers, the game is incredibly hard to win. Since you don't have any jokers in your deck, make the red aces wild. They can be any suit/rank you need. That should help!
what if one of the rows are clear, can i move other cards from the face cards there?
Nope. Cards must stay in the pile they were dealt to. ☺️
I'm not sure why you placed the ace on the discard pile. My logic tells me that you could have put that there in case you would have got a 10.... say you draw a 10 next.. or a combo that exceeds 10... then all you would need would be the trigger of the same suit, either on the same turn or the next... what's the point of discarding the ace if it just adds to the points needed/ exceeds for the kill?
So it doesn't need to be the exact amount adding up to the face card? Just over it?
Right. Same or more. :)
Can the joker act as a trigger card for any suit, aswell as a card of upto the 10 value?
Yep! You got it right :D
One question: what do you do when you don’t have any cards in the draw pile?
Great question! The game ends once the draw pile is empty. If you have not defeated all of the monsters by then, you lose. :)
@@riffleshuffleandroll Thanks!
This is a cool deck. Are those devils on it?
It’s the Tragic Royalty deck from Bicycle. Each court card is a skeleton. I think it’s pretty cool.
To be clear, you can only have two cards to add up, plus one more card to trigger the kill that doesn't add to the total of the two other cards?
So once you put a single card down on a monster, your next card must add up to the minimum value of the monster card before you can play the trigger? If so, then you absolutely cannot place an ace or two on a King because no other card will add up to 13.
Correct.
@@riffleshuffleandroll okay. Fun game, easy setup, and I've currently won 2 of 4 games
Nice! I’m glad you enjoy it :)
You should try Dungeon Solitaire. There's a few playthrough videos from the creator on TH-cam
I will give that a try! Thanks for the suggestion. :)
What’s the name of the TH-cam channel?
@@riffleshuffleandroll Matthew Lowes
th-cam.com/video/IZAr_PnFcMQ/w-d-xo.html
Awesome. Thanks.
Idk if you said this during the video😭 What happens if you have more than three cards on one of the face cards? Does that mean you lose?
You cannot put more than three cards on a face card. Two attack cards and one trigger card.
@@riffleshuffleandroll Thank you! :)
Man, the joker is powerful in this game, will always work as a trigger or as a 10. Makes me wonder what the purpose is of declaring the joker as anything but a 10 since there is no penalty for overkill.
You are right. I worded it that way because I was always toying with the idea of offering a bonus for getting the exact value of the monster card. That way, the joker could be whatever value you needed to earn the bonus. Always tinkering with my games :)
When you draw three cards, can you put one on each face card to end the turn and then draw three more?
Yep ☺️
I like this game a lot like the other comment said Clear The Castle is a Perfect Name
I am glad you enjoy the game! ☺️
can the jokers be used only as the cards that finish the monsters or can they also be used to initiate an attack on the monsters?
Jokers can be used to initiate the attack AND finish the monsters. = )
@@riffleshuffleandroll how much points is joker?i think i missed it
@@riffleshuffleandroll wait nevermind it was in 5:22
OH, OH, OH, I am so confused...if I have top cards J of Spades, K of hearts , King of spades and J of diamonds......... Bottom 3 are 4 of clubs , 8 of hearts and 7 of diamonds..........What would I do ? Please help
where did you get that card deck great vid btw
They are called the Bicycle Tragic Royalty Playing cards. I purchased them off of Amazon. ☺️
@@riffleshuffleandroll thanks im going to buy them
I don't know if I am allowed to add up cards to Like 18 and activate it on a jack and activating with a joker, But I'm assuming I can add up a lot to kill a face card but no the joker thing.pls anyone tell me , thanks.
Yes, you can make a total of 18 and activate with a joker. A joker can be any suit needed.
@@riffleshuffleandroll ok thank you, nice fun game btw.
@@oelix2078 Thank you! I am glad you like it!
tengo una duda. puedo poner solo dos cartas sobre un rey y que una de esas cartas sea el trigger? o tienen que ser 3 cartas ?
Gracias por la pregunta. Vas a poner dos cartas sobre el Rey. Despues pones la tercer carta y esa carta es el trigger.
french revolution: the card game
I have two questions. 1: can you only attack one monster at a time? 2: can you use 1 card at a time to attack, if not can you only use one card when you only have one left
1: Only one trigger card can be activated at a time, so only one monster can be killed at a time. 2: Only one card is played at a time, so you can build up an attack on all of the monsters if you like. I think I answered your questions. Let me know if there is anything else unclear still.
This reminds me of that game where two players using two deck of cards. One deck is the monsters and one deck is for characters and health. I forgot the name and how to play. Do you know what is it?
I did a quick search and came across One Deck Dungeon. Is that what you are thinking of?
@@riffleshuffleandroll Not that one but it seems pretty interesting. Thanks for introducing that. Well I guise the game I was thinking about is going to be lost forever lol.
I think you're talking about this game. It's set up RPG style: th-cam.com/video/NwLkOBRf1iM/w-d-xo.html

I'm working on a web version of this great game, so i can play it on the commute from/to work. Just in case someone else is interested...
That’s awesome! Be sure to share the link with me. Send it to my email, and I will check it out.
@@riffleshuffleandroll OK, i'll send you the link in a couple of days, there are a few details left to implement. Thanks.
@@riffleshuffleandroll It's live. Sent an email with the link.
I’ve played this game over and over and all I’ve done is lose because there is still one “monster” left and my deck of cards finished! 😂
prettycool ;)
Thank you!
Say I play the 5 of hearts on the Jack of hearts first, then follow it up with the 4 of spades. If I could play the 3 of diamonds on it next, could the 5 of hearts be my trigger?
Thank you for the question! The third card played is the trigger card. :) In your example, the 5 of hearts cannot be the trigger card.
But 5 + 4 would only be 9 ame jacks are worth 11, can the trigger card be used I. The count then because I thought you had to make up equal or greater with a pair of cards.
@@HollyChristine You are correct. The first two cards played must be equal to or more than the value of the card. The trigger card (third card) must be the same suit as the court card you are attacking.
@@riffleshuffleandroll Thank you for the quick reply!
I'm ready to start playing!
@@HollyChristine Awesome! Let me know how you do.
Is the joker card available from number 1-10 only, so they wont be able to be the 3rd card, or they are able to be the third card cause it could be diamond,clover,spade,or love?
It can be a trigger as well. Any suit. :)
Do you have to kill all the monsters to win?
Yep!
Good name would be Royal solitaire
Can I play it with a partner? Some coop?
Try two decks, one per player. Twice as many monsters to defeat, but players can work together.
What deck of cards is that
Tragic Royal Family from Bicycle
What is the deck called?
Bicycle Tragic Royalty playing cards. :^)
