Here, you command a team of four heroes – a fighter, a rogue, a wizard, and a cleric – each with their unique tricks and abilities. Your goal is to delve into dungeons and face six waves of monsters in sequence, culminating in the dreaded Dragon. Each round, you roll dice for your adventurers, trying to land attacks with up to three rolls and choosing which results to use based on the abilities of those who survived. Then, it's the monsters' turn to counterattack, with each remaining health point representing a die to be rolled against you. To win, you must annihilate all the beasts and, of course, defeat the Dragon, all while at least one of your brave adventurers is still standing. It's a fast-paced game, focusing on dice rolling and risk management, perfect for those who enjoy a dose of fantasy and challenge in just a few minutes. Ideal for anyone wanting a no-fuss dungeon crawler experience that can be played anywhere, as it's a 'print and play' game. ## FAQ ### How many players can participate?
