You all stand at the entrance to the dungeon, but only one will enter: the bravest, the craziest, or maybe just the one who hasn't had a chance to flee yet! To see who has the guts to enter, take turns setting aside equipment or adding monsters to the dungeon. Are you tough enough to hit the dungeon? Or will you let someone else go down -- and hope they stay down? |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The first thing I noticed is how gorgeous it is. The artwork is bright, it's vibrant, it's stunning. The style is cartoonish but with such detail that it elevates it. Every time I drew a monster card I had to take a moment to just appreciate the artwork on the cards.
The second thing I noticed was the quality. The card stock is solid, just heavy enough that I'm not concerned the cards will show premature signs of use such as bending or wearing. (I can be a little OCD about that, I get sleeves for most of my board game cards). The punchboard pieces are exceptional. Nothing bothers me more than punchboard tokens that come out with some tearing or fraying. When tokens just pop out with the slightest touch it's wonderful. A bit messy when you lift it and a few tumble out, but that's a sign of good quality! And the artwork on the equipment and character tokens is beautiful. Like the box the images are glossy on top of a less glossy background, making them really pop out. It's just a delight.
But the beauty of the cards and the quality of the tokens is less important that the actual quality of the game itself. I have fallen in love with these "pocket games" and I often have one with me wherever I go for impromptu gaming. This one will displace Tiny Epic Galaxies for a little bit because it's really fun and quick to learn. The rules are simple, and once you know them (it takes less than 5 minutes to explain the rules to a new player) you never have to check the manual again. The monster cards show what equipment defeats them, and the equipment token say what they do on them, making it very intuitive and easy to pick up.
The game is also quick, so if you have more than the max of 4 players it isn't a big problem for a couple people to sit out for a game, then jump in on the next.
The only issue I had was with one problem that arose. During one round we ran out of monster cards, and still had 2 people willing to go into the dungeon, so when it was time for the next player to draw a card, there wasn't one to draw. The manual says only "if there are no cards to draw, you must pass" which left me scratching my head a bit. How then is it decided who goes into the dungeon? Because if Player 1 draws a card and there are none left, Player 2 can't draw a card and must pass, it skips player 3 who passed a couple rounds ago, Player 4 has no cards to draw so must pass, goes back to Player 1 who now has no cards to draw and must pass...does it just pass into infinity?
The answer that I had to google to discover (and now seems idiotically obvious) is that the rules say when one person is left they go into the Dungeon. So in the above scenario, Player 1 draws the last card and puts it in the dungeon. Player 2 has to pass, Player 3 already passed before, Player 4 has to pass, and once Player 4 passes it means Player 1 is the only remaining player and he goes into the dungeon.
For clarity's sake I would have preferred that rules say "if the monster card deck runs out, whoever drew the last card goes into the dungeon."
I can't really decide if that one rules issue was my own stupidity or lack of clarity on the game's design. Regardless, once that question was answered there were no more problems and we played for a couple of hours. I didn't win, but that is my curse, to never win games I own.

Going into the dungeon is basically flipping through all the enemy cards and comparing them to the hero's remaining equipment to see if he/she survives. You win by being the surviving hero a couple times, or by everyone else being a failing hero a couple times.
As far as the components go, they are really nice. Great artwork on the cards and tokens. Both are of fine quality.
Gameplay can be quite short... depending in part on who you are playing with. Similarly, difficulty also seems to be tied to who you're playing with as well... and I don't mean in terms of opponent skill. 😉 What I mean is, with fewer players it becomes quite easy to get through the dungeon. I feel like the game needed just a few more monster cards to bring up difficulty a hair more.
Overall I really like this as a quick and easy little game. I like the concept, the art, and how easy to learn it is.

Yo creo que la persona que le dio 2 estrellas NO entendió la dinámica del juego. TODOS juegan con el mismo héroe. Es como si el héroe sufriera de personalidad múltiple (como si cada uno de los jugadores fuese una personalidad diferente del héroe).
Jugando de a 2 hay más control sobre el juego y se puede hacer jugadas más arriesgadas. De a 3 y sobretodo de a 4, son menos cartas las que uno le han tocado ver (lo cual no es malo, sólo hace al juego un poco más push-your-luck). Y sin embargo puedo decir que mis amigos estrategas han sacado el máximo partido a las 2 o 3 cartas que les ha tocado ver y nos han ganado cuando pensamos que era imposible.
Cada héroe tiene sus ventajas, y en realidad están bastante balanceados (mientras no les quiten las piezas los otros jugadores). Ningún personaje garantiza ganar al entrar al dungeon, especialmente si tus amables compañeros te han dejado sin juguetes.
Lo recomiendo para jugadores que ponen corazón y/o mente cuando juegan. Si tú o tus amigos juegan como si todo fuese un juego de azar, definitivamente NO les va a gustar.
Con que un miembro del grupo sepa inglés basta. El idioma no es muy necesario, salvo para leer el instructivo y explicar lo que hace cada objeto (como son 5 objetos por vez y uno o dos son de salud, los jugadores que no sepan inglés, lo memorizan rápido, y los íconos/ayuda visual y la guía de referencia rápida ayudan a ese proceso de memorización, realmente no implica esfuerzo).
