How to play

What is Mob Melee?

A survival card game of monsters, tomes, and treachery where chance and cunning decide who falls. Played in brutal rounds, mobs claw for dominion with one prize in sight: break the Gloom’s hex and rise as the Grimsbourne.

How it works

Start

Round by round, rival mobs clash beneath the Gloom.

How to win

Only one Mob Boss survives each round, breaking 1 Gloom’s Hex.
The first to break 3 Gloom’s Hexes wins the game.

Build your hand

Cast wicked tomes on yourself or a rival.

Summon monsters to bolster and protect your mob.

Roll the Hexscales and spill what must be spilled.

Clash with rivals

Challenge a rival to Melee and tally your mob’s power. The highest total wins.

Rivals chase the same prize:

You are all trying to lift your hexes, but only by outlasting the other mobs.

Short, brutal clashes:

Players enter the fray, cast tomes, summon monsters, and attack until one mob remains.

The Keeper shapes the round:

Each round, one player controls the draw, reveals first, and leads the danger.

Dice and tomes twist the odds:

Every battle can swing wildly, and every cast pushes the game closer to the brink.

💀 How it works

Summon monsters. Cast tomes. Betray rivals. Mob Melee is a survival card game played in brutal rounds where only the cunning prevail.
