About the game

What you do in a play session

Bag of Dungeon harks back to those glorious (and dangerous!) days of exploring dungeons, slaying monsters, and escaping with pockets full of treasure. It's an adventure and exploration game where 1 to 4 heroes venture into ever-changing catacombs, racing against time to find the Ring of Creation and, of course, escape alive with their loot. But beware: loyalty can go out the window once the Ring appears! Suddenly, being a lone wolf might seem like the best strategy, even if it means leaving your former companions behind (or worse!).

The board is assembled with tiles that change each game, ensuring every adventure is unique. You'll use your action points to move, fight, and use items, all while rolling dice to see if your actions succeed. Each hero has their own unique abilities, adding an extra layer of strategy and replayability. The game is super accessible, perfect for newcomers to the hobby or for those wanting a quick game with family, but don't be fooled, it has enough depth to keep veterans entertained.

With games lasting between 20 and 60 minutes, Bag of Dungeon is a great choice for anyone who enjoys a quick adventure with a touch of betrayal and lots of fun. It blends cooperative elements initially, but can turn into a 'every man for himself' situation depending on circumstances. It's a classic dungeon crawler with a modern and dynamic twist.

6 questions
Is Bag of Dungeon cooperative or competitive?
It starts as cooperative, with all players working together. But when the main objective (the Ring of Creation) is found, the game can become semi-cooperative, where each player might try to grab the Ring for themselves, creating interesting tension!
How many people can play?
The game is designed for 1 to 4 players. It works well both in solo mode and with a full group.
Is it a difficult game to learn?
No, not at all! Bag of Dungeon is known for being very easy to grasp, with simple rules that allow you to start playing quickly. It's ideal for beginners or those looking for something lighter.
How long does a game take?
A game of Bag of Dungeon usually takes between 20 and 60 minutes, depending on the number of players and dice roll luck.
Is the game always the same?
Not at all! The board is modular, meaning it's made of tiles that change positions each game. This, along with the heroes' different abilities, ensures that each adventure is a fresh experience.
Do I need a lot of components to play?
The game comes with everything you need: tiles to build the board, hero miniatures, monsters, dice, item cards, and the Ring of Creation. It's a complete package to start the adventure!
