About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a quick and bluff-filled adventure in "Welcome Back to the Dungeon"! The idea here is simple: you stumble upon a dungeon brimming with treasure (and dangers, of course!), but you're not alone. Other adventurers also want in, and the competition starts even before you step inside. Each player controls a character with unique abilities, and the goal is to be the last one standing, or at least, not the first to flee in terror.

The game uses a bidding and bluffing system where you need to decide whether to show bravery or try to trick others. You can add equipment to make the dungeon more perilous for opponents, or try your luck with monster cards. The "push your luck" mechanic invites you to take increasing risks, but be careful not to be the one facing the dragon unprepared! It's a game that tests your memory, your ability to read opponents, and your nerve. Perfect for those who enjoy dynamic matches with a touch of "who will be the first to run?" and lighthearted humor. Ideal for kicking off a game night or playing whenever you crave a fast and fun competition.
