Random Encounters is a co-operative fantasy card game where you play as adventurers on a journey. Each player chooses a character and then set off to explore the Forest, Caves, and Abandoned Kingdom. The players must work together to defeat Monsters, gather Loot, and use their talents to overcome the powerful Boss Monsters at the end of each level.

Each character has a unique Leader Ability. Players take turns being the Leader of the Party, which grants their allies a benefit or bonus. Tumble the Mischievous can help the party Flee from Monsters and draw a new Encounter, Golias the Rugged lowers the Strength Skill of enemies and challenges.

Random Encounters takes inspiration from classic console role-playing games and combines them with tabletop elements to create a streamlined, compact adventure experience that can be played solo or with a group of fellow adventurers.

There are 9 characters, 9 Boss Monsters, 75 Loot cards (like Weapons, Armor, Trinkets, and Familiars), and 75 Encounter cards (like Monsters, Traps, and Events), skill tokens, star tokens and custom, six-sided dice.
