About the game
Fearsome Floors, also known as Finstere Flure, throws you into a desperate race to escape a dungeon before it collapses on your head! Created by Friedemann Friese, this 2003 game continues the FFF saga, where you and your friends must flee the fearsome Fürst Fieso. The premise is simple: reach the exit within 14 turns, or the ceiling turns to dust. Sounds easy, right? Wrong! The dungeon is not just a labyrinth, but also home to Furukulus, a hungry monster who loves a human snack. And guess what? You could be the main course!

Each round, players move their discs across the modular board, flipping them over to reveal the movement points for the next turn. The big twist is the interaction with the monster. You can try to guide Furukulus into your opponents' path, turning them into bait. But beware, because this strategy can quickly backfire on you! Pieces can slide on blood slicks or be crushed between a boulder and a wall. And the icing on the cake? You can even try to make the monster teleport to another part of the board, directly onto its next unsuspecting victim. It's a race against time and a relentless monster, with plenty of strategy and a touch of dark humor. Get ready for screams... of joy or terror!
