About the game

What you do in a play session

Maladum: Dungeons of Enveron invites you on an epic journey into the heart of ancient dungeons, where fortune and danger go hand in hand. You and your friends (or you alone, if you prefer!) take control of a band of fearless adventurers, ready to unravel the secrets of Enveron. But don't think it'll be a walk in the park: hordes of Revenants and other monsters lurk, ready to defend the valuable artifacts you seek. Beyond combat, prepare to interact with a varied cast of NPCs, who can be allies or give you a headache.

This game is an evolution of the acclaimed Core Space, but completely revamped for a rich fantasy universe full of lore. And what's even cooler? It comes with a detailed 3D board, featuring award-winning Battle Systems terrain, transforming your table into an immersive scenario! Between dungeon delves, your heroes return to town, where the campaign system kicks in. Your choices and mission outcomes will shape your party's destiny, developing skills, upgrading equipment, and building a unique story for each adventure. It's a complete dungeon crawler experience, with plenty of exploration, strategic combat, and a narrative that unfolds with each play.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Is Maladum a game for beginners or experienced players?
Well, it has a medium-heavy weight (3.78/5 on BGG), so it's more for those who already have some experience with board games, especially dungeon crawlers. But if you're a brave beginner and enjoy a challenge, you can certainly dive in!
How many players can play Maladum and what's the average playtime?
Maladum is super flexible! You can play with 1 to 6 adventurers. A game can take anywhere from 45 to 120 minutes, depending on the scenario and the number of players. Get ready for a good gaming session!
Do I need to paint the miniatures to play?
No need! The miniatures come ready to hit the board. But if you enjoy painting, they're a perfect blank canvas to unleash your creativity and make your game even more epic!
What's the main difference between Maladum and Core Space, since it's based on it?
The main difference is the theme! Core Space is sci-fi, while Maladum is pure fantasy, with dungeons, monsters, and magic. The core mechanics are similar, but everything has been adapted to the new universe, including the lore and visual components.
Does the game have a lot of story or is it more focused on combat?
Maladum balances both very well! It has a robust campaign system that immerses you in a rich narrative, with NPCs and choices that matter. But, of course, as a good dungeon crawler, tactical combat against hordes of enemies is a central and super fun part of the experience.
Is it possible to play Maladum solo?
Absolutely! Maladum offers a solo/solitaire mode, so you can delve into the dungeons of Enveron and experience the full campaign even without company. It's perfect for those times when you want an adventure all to yourself.
