Gather your party, because the adventure has just leveled up! In Here to Slay DUNGEONS: Molten | Overgrown, the competition is set aside as players unite in a cooperative dungeon crawl. The goal is simple yet perilous: explore hostile terrains, battle swarms of monsters, and ultimately take down the Dungeon Boss before the entire party is wiped out. If you fail, your legend ends before it even begins!
The game brings a strategic edge where synergy is the key to survival. You can customize your Hero with specific abilities and looted items during the journey, filling the gaps in the party's composition so no one is left vulnerable. Exploration takes place on a modular board with a hexagonal grid, meaning every session offers a different map and fresh challenges.
But don't think it's a walk in the park: the dungeon is alive and reacts to your actions. Obstacles, environmental hazards, and waves of foes will try to block your path. To emerge victorious, you'll need tight coordination, precise dice rolls, and smart action point management. A great touch is the nostalgia factor, as the game brings back the Party Leaders from the original Here to Slay as playable characters, along with familiar monsters from the 2020 release, now reimagined in a context of tactical exploration and combat. It's the perfect blend for those who love the universe's art but crave the depth of a cooperative adventure game.

Do I need to have played the original Here to Slay to understand this one?
Nope! While it features familiar characters and monsters, the rules are for a cooperative dungeon crawl, so anyone can jump right in.
How long does a game take?
Expect to spend between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on your dice luck and the map's complexity.
Is the game difficult?
It's more complex than the original Here to Slay due to movement and action point management, but nothing a group of adventurers can't figure out quickly.
How many people can play?
2 to 4 players. It works well in any configuration, but with 4 players, the ability synergy becomes even more interesting.
What's in the box?
The base game includes modular boards, hero cards, items, monsters, and the dice needed for stat checks.
Is it purely a game of luck?
There's the luck of the dice, but strategy in item selection and group coordination are what truly secure the victory.
