Welcome to the Dungeon - Iello - Mini Games

Publisher: Iello

Version french

Come in if you dare!

You're all at the entrance to the dungeon, but only one of you can get in: the bravest, the craziest, or the one who didn't have the chance to flee! To determine this, you'll reduce your equipment or add monsters to fight inside each turn.

Will you be foolhardy enough to go deep into the dungeon, or will you let your opponents pass in front of it, hoping you'll never see them come out?

Principle of the game

In Welcome to the Dungeon, all players play with the same hero, and try to be the one to lead them into the depths of the dungeon in search of treasure and glory.

Place the Adventurer, the object of all your desires, in the center of the table, with the 6 weapons and protections that make up his equipment to face the Monsters that populate the Dungeon.

Each round takes place in 2 phases:

The Auction Phase: In turn, you have the choice between skipping your turn and not participating in the round again, or drawing a Monster card.

If, out of bravery (or madness...) you opt for the pickaxe, you can, after looking at the card:

- Make the Dungeon even more dangerous by adding the Drawn Monster

- Remove the Monster by sacrificing the Adventurer's equipment.

The Auction phase ends when all but one player has passed. The latter must then take on the role of the Adventurer and enter the dungeon... whether he chose it or not.

The Dungeon Phase: The Adventurer player armed with his remaining equipment finds himself alone against the monsters!

Add the Adventurer's Life Points to the Adventurer's Hit Points from their equipment, then flip the Dungeon cards one at a time.

Defeat the monsters your equipment protects you against, then add up the power of the Monsters still in play: if the total is strictly less than the Adventurer's HP, the challenge is successful, you have survived the Dungeon!

If a player is knocked down twice by the Monsters, they are eliminated from the game.

The winner is the last player in the game, or the one who manages to emerge victorious from the Dungeon twice

Strengths:

A subtle and original mix of bluff and risk-taking

A simple and funny game that keeps players on the edge of their seats throughout the game
