Scoundrel is a roguelike, played in the form of solitare. You move from room to room, facing monsters, drinking potions and wielding weapons, scraping to survive to the end, and get the highest score you can!

Rules

  • You run out of health, you lose.
  • You engage with three objects in each room before more are drawn from the dungeon.
  • Weapons will degrade with use, so be cautious how you choose to fight.
    • The first time you use a weapon, it can be used on any monster.
      Then you have to use it on monsters of lesser value than the one you last defeated with that weapon.
    • You can choose to punch a monster, rather than use your weapon on it.
  • You can run away from a room, but never twice in a row. Be careful.

You'll need a Game Boy emulator to play this game. I recommend mGBA, Emulicious or Sameboy.

Works very nicely... but mostly, only if one already knows how to play the game. 
A more detailed explanation (either in-game, or on-page, or linked) wouldn't be wasted I think. 

Yes, I agree. Ideally it would be accompanied by a manual (as game boy games often were), and a bit more in-game text to explain things.
