Dungeon Roll

Seven Companions fighting monsters and dragons

You embody a hero, first in his novice stage and later as an experienced adventurer; one player in turn is active adventurer, his left neighbor is Dungeon Master. You roll seven dice for companions or scrolls, the Dungeon Master rolls a number of Dungeon dice in relation to the current dungeon level.

An adventurer's turn comprises 1) Fight monsters - use active dice only; used dice go to the cemetery and dice effects are implemented. Scrolls can be used to re-roll dice, you can activate hero abilities - the Ultimate Ability only once per adventure - and defeat monsters using warriors, priests, magicians or champions on companion dice. 2) Plunder Phase - you use a thief to open chests or consume potions upon discarding a companion to get dice back. 3) Dragon phase - if there are three dragon symbols on dungeon dice you need to fight the dragon using three different companions, you can use treasures representing companions. 4) Regrouping phase - the adventurer retires (10 experience points) or returns to the tavern (experience points = dungeon level) or tries the next level using remaining dice. If you do not defeat all monsters of a level you must flee with zero experience. After three adventures for each player you win with most experience from adventures and unused treasures.

A multiple solitaire game, there is no interaction but the tension if someone succeeds at the current level and a bit of gloating when he does not. Core of the game is an optimum use of companion abilities, use of treasures and special abilities of heroes to supplement the remaining dice which are very scarce in advanced levels.
