About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to dive even deeper into the labyrinths of Dungeon Twister with the first expansion in the series, Paladins & Dragons! Designed for two players, this addition brings a brand-new arsenal of characters, items, and rooms to spice up your games. And the best part: all the base game rules still apply, so just add the new content and jump into the action. An included rulebook guides you through all the new features you'll encounter.

With Paladins & Dragons, the strategy of assembling your team becomes even more crucial and fun. You can innovate each game, surprising your opponent with unexpected combinations of characters and items. And speaking of surprises, the eight new rooms can be secretly chosen by players, meaning you'll only know half of the dungeon before diving in! This forces you to build a versatile team, capable of handling any challenge your opponent might throw at you.

Among the new faces, we have the Paladin, who carries two items and wields the Dragon Slayer sword; the fearsome Red Dragon, a brute force in combat worth 2 Victory Points if slain; the Ghost, who can move through any terrain; the Illusionist, a master of creating fake traps; the Weapon Master, an experienced fighter who predicts movements; the Golem, slow and strong, capable of smashing down walls; the Elf Scout, super fast but weak in combat; and the Pickpocket, specialized in stealing items. Additionally, the expansion introduces items like the Teleportation Ring, the Charm Scroll, and the Fire Protection Shield, and rooms like the Fountain of Youth and the Pentacle Room. It's a complete package for those seeking more variety and challenges in Dungeon Twister!
