About the game
What you do in a play session
Prepare to delve deep in Of Dungeons Deep! (Second Edition), a souped-up version of the original game that now accommodates 1 to 4 adventurers. The premise here is clear: dive into a dungeon filled with dangers and unfriendly creatures, all to accumulate fame and glory. The game revolves around a blind bidding and bluffing system, where you and your friends play cards face down to confront monsters. Each enemy has its hit points determined by the number of players, and in each dungeon level, you face three challenges. Strategy, tactics, and, of course, a lot of nerve are essential to emerge victorious. There are two bidding rounds to get a peek at what others are planning. But the fun doesn't stop there! Upon defeating a monster, you add its card to your deck, gaining items and abilities that boost your character for future rounds. It's a very thematic and organic way to see your party evolve. Before the adventure begins, you also do a draft to assemble your starting hand of twelve cards, choosing a unique Hero and Henchman. This variety ensures that each game is a new experience, increasing the replay factor. And the best part? No downtime! Everyone plays simultaneously, making Of Dungeons Deep! an exciting and fast-paced dungeon crawl. The only caveat is the language dependency, so a translated guide might be helpful.
