About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare to delve even deeper into the Caverns of Roxor, the first major expansion for Super Dungeon Dungeon Explore! If you enjoy the vibe of exploring dungeons and fighting monsters, this expansion brings more than enough to spice up your game sessions. It not only adds new stylish heroes like Princess Ruby, the Deeproot Scout, and the Star Guild Scrapper, but also new monsters to challenge the heroes. And for those playing as the Consul (the villain, you know?), there's the fearsome Roxor and his Troll henchman, Rock Gut, ready to cause trouble!

Beyond the characters, the expansion adds more flavor to the game with new treasure cards tied to creatures like the Rock Tops and Fireflow Denziens. This means each defeated creature can yield a unique reward, making the loot hunt even more exciting. With a modular board, the dungeon rearranges itself with each playthrough, ensuring exploration is always fresh. The action points mechanic allows you to carefully plan your moves, while dice rolling adds that touch of luck and danger. And for those who enjoy diversity, variable player powers ensure each hero has their unique way to shine. All of this comes in a package full of incredible miniatures, maintaining the charming and 'chibi' look we love in Super Dungeon Explore. It's the perfect choice for anyone wanting more adventure and challenges in this fantastic universe!
