About the game
What you do in a play session
In Dungeonology: The Expedition, you're a scholar seeking knowledge, not your typical adventurer. The University of Rocca Civetta, specializing in studying mysterious cultures, needs a new Dungeonology professor – and you're in the running! Explore dungeons, gather intel on creatures and cultures, and write the best thesis to win the coveted chair. But beware: the locals don't take kindly to intruders! With hand management, area movement, and a modular board, each game is a fresh adventure full of strategy and interaction. The game blends fantasy and renaissance into a unique theme where victory comes from knowledge, not strength.
