This game is so simple and fun especially on solo but the game really opens up when you play multiplayer. We like to play cooperatively as a family although it's war when someone tries to steal the ring. It goes up a whole level of gameplay. Warning! it can be annoyingly tough also as a dungeon game! every game is different and randomly generated. Love it!

[@HungryGamerReviews]

That's true. I remember the first game I played, I was dead in 3 tiles or so. Thanks for the kind words

Love this game. It's like travel D&D. Simple but fun!

[@HungryGamerReviews]

Travel d and d...that is a great simile. I wish I had thought of that

Nice clear review, and I believe the ONLY review I can find if this great looking game, just a quick question, I know it's a light dungeon crawler, but is there a option for carrying on with loot gained in next game you play? Edit, I'm your 500th subscriber lol 👍

[@HungryGamerReviews]

Wahoo 500! It's giveaway time!!

[@HungryGamerReviews]

The game is just set as a series of one shots. There are also quests that I had not mentioned before. That said I can't see any reason why you couldn't carry loot over, other than it would make the game faster as there is not need to ramp up. There also might be a variant in BGG but dont quote me on that!

Hi Skinnyjean, The game is really designed to be a one-off dungeon crawler experience but saying that Russ the co-designer is working on a levelling up system which we'll post here when ready on BGG.

Im trying to decide between this and dungeon saga

[@HungryGamerReviews]

Sorry I missed your comment. I'd say...go for both! Lol

[@themarchinggoblin8294]

@@HungryGamerReviews no worries! In the end I picked up dungeon saga and also the adventurers companion. ReAlly gave off the aspect of the old warhammer quest RP book. Not dissapointed

[@p0ck3tp3ar]

Hi there. How challenging is this as two player coop? I was wondering about teaming up on the monsters and I'm concerned if it might make the game very easy. Thanks.

[@HungryGamerReviews]

It has been a while since it hit my table, but it is definitely a good challenge that way. Pure solo, is the most challenging, but coop is good

[@p0ck3tp3ar]

@@HungryGamerReviews Thanks a lot!

[@jordipallares1540]

Looks super fun! I hope someday the developers distribute the game to other countries via amazon or something and do a remake that is language independent or in other languages. Gj whit your review.!

[@HungryGamerReviews]

Many thanks. This is one I'm considering making more content for

[@arikwolf3777]

I see you have the first printing of BoD. I assume you're playing with the first edition of the rules too. Because I just got this game and some of the rules changed, at lest I read them differently than you explain them. For example: You can not sit and shoot a monster. It will regain all it's health if you fail to defeat it by the end of your turn. Still, I liked you're review.

[@HungryGamerReviews]

Yes this is the original rules. I actually now have the new ruleset and want to do a play through of it. Just haven't gotten to it. Thanks for watching

[@arikwolf3777]

​@@HungryGamerReviews: I will subscribe and turn on notifications and wait for that video. 😄 My quibble is the lack of rules. No where does is say what to do with a trap tile after the damage has been dealt. Common sense says it's discarded. A pedantic rule lawyer would say it stay on the tile for the next person to step there. In my third game, (we don't mention the first two, stupid monks,) the lone (solo) dwarf defeated a monster on the M9 tile and drew a trap. Ouch. Oh well, and off he went leaving the trap tile there. Upon laying the final dungeon tile the ring appeared. I give you one guess where. Right! and with a goblin guarding it! (Just to piss me off!) So I ran in, ouch, ouch, ouch (trap), grab the ring, ran out, ouch, (let the goblin have its minor victory.) The rules to not say I have to defeat the monster guarding the ring. Only say defeat a monster with 6 or more health to draw a new item. You can switch, drop, or pick up and item, even during combat. A ring is an item, the McGuffin in this game, but still an item. The rules don't say it is not. Okay then, a trip across the dungeon to the healing pool then back to face the dragon! (Good thing the dwarf had Magic Boots on.) Okay, here's the plan: 1. Hit Big Red with the Flying Daggers, 2. Switch to Great Axe, 3. Use boots to move to M12, 4. Fight!, 5. Collect two items, (does the dragon drop two item?...she has 10 or more health...doesn't matter), 6. Go to Wasted Wizards Inn and drink!!! Right, Magic Armor on, Health Poition ready, Full AP... Base attack (2d6+2) plus axe (+3) plus special ability (+1) is 2d6+6 vs 4d+0, average score 13 vs 14. This will be long drawn out, and very close fight. ...Let's do this. Cast the spell and ready the axe and the Dice roll a 6 and a ... 6, YES! Wait...What? That doubles...24 point of answer damages...I just one-shot a freaking dragon !?! With daggers?!? That can be right. Rule 5.4 Critical Hit: _If all your dice roll are identical (e.g. two 6s, three 4s) you score a critical hit. Double your score, and add modifiers. _*_Monsters cannot score critical hits._* Rule 11 Spells and Potions: _... LoS, ...remove from game, ..._ Rule 10 Ranged Combat: _...LoS, ...count the range, ...Spend AP, ...yadda, yadda, yadda._ Conclusion, crits only happen in melee combat, BUT THEY DON'T SAY THAT! ARRRGH! TL;DR: The rules are open to interpretation with a lot of loophole that need to be patched. Still a fun game. P.S. I took the 12 points, got her down to 6 HP, but not before I was at 4. Took the potion +5 HP, she hit me for 4 (5 HP left), I whittled her down to 1 HP, me to 2. Finally, last roll. 15 to her 17, 2 point to me, armour saves me, again. okay, one more roll, oh good, she dead. Off the the inn, but not to the bar, to bed... P.P.S. I Really, Really Like This Game!

@@arikwolf3777 oooo be curious to see if I have those issues

[@arikwolf3777]

@@HungryGamerReviews: I see what Tim Sharville, (aka gunpowder) the designer, did. He made a game for gamers like himself. Thinking like a gamer, he is taking things for granted, like item have to be in the correct slot to be used. However, he never even mention "equipping." A fundamental concept in any fantasy game. I can see he meant to have that concept, however... By the book, one could have a sword in one hand, a small axe it the other, the great axe in one free slot and a shield in the other free slot and armour in the armour slot, and ALL the item's bonuses would be counted! He needs to think like a rules lawyer when writing the rules. As long as you see what he is trying to do and use common sense, the game works. (But, I know my friends....) Also, I stand corrected: Rule 7, right in the middle of the paragraph, in bold type, it says adventurers can pick up items if the tile is free of monsters. (I should have defeated the goblin.) In my defense, it was my third game and first where I got past the first encounter with a monster. (I wasn't laying the tile correctly.)

[@DJChipsandGarlic]

i bought alien and descent last year and i haven't even played them yet! due to work and family life. maybe this is the game for me.

[@HungryGamerReviews]

It's fun, light and quick.

[@michaelz.5970]

can i print this guy out? cant find a file any where. I'd pay for it, I'd like to make it myself.

[@HungryGamerReviews]

You mean the whole game?

[@paschalisantoniou974]

Erm...is it me or the monsters encounters are not that many? I mean, for a dungeon crawler i was expecting for more encounters.

[@HungryGamerReviews]

Well. It's not a full on crawl. It's pretty light, meant to be a single under an hour dungeon adventure. So if it was supposed to be a full on crawl then yes it would need more, but for what it is, I think it's alright
