The Eliminator game

Click the game, then play with the keyboard. On a phone the keys show under the game; turn it sideways and tap Full screen. The sound starts with your first key.

A game that teaches the Amar rules while you play it. Every roll is shown: the dice, the totals and the sum.

Beneath the royal castle lies the Eliminator, a maze that picks the King's followers. Every year contenders go down. For every ten that enter, one comes out, and the King makes them a noble. You start at the bottom. Climb five levels, and beat the Raven Demon at the gate.

New to Amar? Press I on the title screen. Three short pages show the three tiers of a character, the O6 and one blow of combat, with dice to roll on each.
