The Treacherous Traps Box Set is a 5E D&D trap card collection with 250 pre-made traps across five decks, plus a 100-card random trap generator deck. Compatible with 5E D&D 2014 and 2024 rules.
What's in the Box
Five 50-card tarot-sized decks of pre-made traps, sorted by character level: 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16, and 17-20. Traps in each deck range from minor setbacks to deadly threats. The sixth deck is a 100-card random trap generator: combine a trigger card with an effect card for up to 2,500 possible traps.
Why the Cards
Cards are the fastest format at the table: draw from the right level deck when the party opens the wrong door, or pull a handful during prep and slot them into your dungeon. When a trap springs, you can hand the card across the table so the player sees exactly what got them.

Great for fleshing out your dungeon design. Modular for 5th edition d&d.

Received this as a gift and cannot wait to start adding it to my games!
I have been playing DnD 5e actively for about a year now, and DMing for homebrewed kid friendly games for about just as long. Although i have books available with great suggestions for traps, sometimes I need to expedite my young players along to get to the next part of the story. It may be a little cheeky, but having a literal deck of tricks and traps up my sleeve allows me the freedom to not worry too much about the technical aspects of the trap, and focus on active storytelling andenjoyment of the game. I also can adjust as needed to make sure my players are having a good time as well.
This is a great box set for those lacking a creative gene when it comes to traps. The cards are organized by level brackets and give a great description/mechanics on what the traps look like, how they're triggered, and how they can be disarmed.
