Killing all enemies before 1:00 nets you THREE gain cards (no Food either, only Gold, Max Health+, and Armory) so it fits into any challenge deck period. Memetic Mutation: 'BACK TO THE BONES' and 'THIS GAME' Explanation Parts from quotes from the dealer heard frequently when starting a dice gambit and wheel gambit respectively.Considering you'll see those gambits a lot (and fail them a lot), you'll be hearing them quite often. Every move from one card to a new one takes one unit of food, and food gain cards are rare in the first game. Most of your gold will go to trying to avoid starving to death, if you're lucky enough to find a trader that has food at all. In the second game, you can camp at any time and buy food from a trader, but it doesn't restock unless you run into some rare encounters that have a trader join you. And several things make it even worse the Lovers quest saddles you with a potato farmer that will eat huge amounts of your food, and more if he gets wounded. The Queen of Skulls, whose dungeon comes with a massive Difficulty Spike.and there's an encounter that makes you eat double the amount of food if you fail a difficult check. Buying any equipment means taking on a curse, up to and including Blighted, which means the player can't heal at all, and there's no priests or healers who can remove them for you. The deck also includes five Dark Dwellers passing by them means a chance event with a 75% chance of failure. Failure means drawing two pain cards, many of which will reduce the player's maximum health by a substantial amount. Getting to the boss is an enormous challenge, though strangely, the boss herself is extremely simple. It's the first time you get introduced to Ratmen, and there's the addition of three 'Angry Mob' cards by the dealer. These are not only extremely hard to win (75 and 50% chances to fail), but almost always draw you pain cards or steal food on a failure, unless you don't have any food.

At which point you're in a bad spot anyway. All of the above pale in comparison to the King of Scales' dungeon.The boss is also one of the harder ones you could face up to that point if the throwing variant of the Ratmen decide to show up.
