## Description
Get ready for a wizardly showdown where cheating is the name of the game! In Dungeon Maker: Deluxe!, you and your fellow sorcerers have a bad habit: pilfering each other's dungeons. But this time, you're prepared! You've fortified your lair with a bestiary of nasty creatures – imps, dragons, werewolves, each with their own magical powers ready to pounce. Leave them on guard as you depart for your own dungeon crawl, only to discover your rivals have done the same, and one of them has a cave troll! The game unfolds in three thrilling stages: Fortify, Exchange, and Crawl. In the Fortify Stage, all players simultaneously draft their defenders, setting up their defenses. Then comes the Exchange Stage, where players shuffle their cards and swap dungeons, setting the stage for the assault. Finally, in the Crawl Stage, everyone simultaneously uses their cards to clear out the opponent's dungeon. The game ends for everyone when someone finishes clearing the adversary's lair. Victory comes with points for well-fortified and cleared dungeons, but be careful not to run out of mana or vigor in the heat of battle! It's a fast-paced, strategic game with that touch of chaos every good wizard duel needs.
