Courage & Cunning is a quick trick-taking game with a twist. Beat your opponents to the loot with higher courage, or cunning, whichever fits the situation, as you explore the treacherous, labyrinthian Maw.

Gameplay is describe as "fencing on rocket skates" as players have 6 cards and 6 rounds to score the most loot.

The Kickstarter Edition includes two expansions: Heroes of Cax, which adds 6 playable heroes with asymmetric abilities, and Into the Maw, which adds 2 new modes of play: Story Mode and Solo Mode.
