PLAYED FOR YOU

Dungeon Lords

Die Fünfte Jahreszeit

Dungeons are our habitat and we build dungeons and catacombs and send our servants to the surface to obtain food, building permits or mining rights. They also hire workers and creatures and acquire blueprints for building traps and enlarging corridors. You have three servants and each action can only be claimed by three players. After four rounds of dungeon building the surface population is fed up and sends heroes into the catacombs. The dungeon builders defend themselves with monsters and creatures. After a second run of four rounds the game is scored for things built, things left over and special abilities.

With the expansion Festival Season a year in the Dungeon Lords universe now comprises five seasons and a fight takes five rounds. In each year there are two special events, you lead four adventurers and, maybe, a Paladin who line up in front of the Dungeon. The Bard is a new kind of adventurer; he is placed on the last available spot and sings for the adventurers in front, as regards to the number of lutes. In each year there are two Paladins, one stronger, the other weaker, and of course new monsters, rooms, pets and many changes in actions; there is also an additional action per round.

Just like the core game Dungeon Lords Festival Season is simply funny, witty, enjoyable and well-made; where else can you find heroes that queue for a fight or monsters keeping pets or renting basements in the down-town area for a branch of their dungeon? The rules by themselves offer high entertainment value and are rewarding enough to immerse oneself, the game has not gotten simpler, but is even more fun!
