RECOMMENDED

If you enjoy quick games full of bluffing and tension, Dungeon of Mandom VIII is a sure bet. The 'last one standing gets screwed' mechanic creates hilarious moments of mutual sabotage, and the risk-taking decisions each turn are always nail-biting. Great for those who like light games with dashes of strategy and psychology.

About the game

What you do in a play session

Dungeon of Mandom VIII is a bluffing and push-your-luck game where 2-4 players dare each other to enter a dungeon full of monsters with increasingly scarce equipment. Each round, you start with a fully-equipped hero and take turns deciding whether to add monsters to the dungeon or remove equipment from the hero. The last player standing must face the dungeon with whatever equipment remains — and hope to survive with at least 1 HP! This is an enhanced version of the original, with new heroes, monsters, and gear. Win two rounds to claim glory, but lose two and you're out. Get ready for tension and laughter as you try to sabotage each other!
