SPONSORED POST: Dungeon Fighter

This 2020 edition is a reboot that takes the hilarious dice-throwing action of the original Dungeon Fighter and brings it to a whole new level with multiple standalone boxes, more modern rules, and both new and revised contents!

The new Dungeon Fighter comes in different standalone versions, each representing a unique Dungeon with a different target-board and its own gameplay elements, and of course different Dungeon cards, Heroes, dice, Monsters, Bosses, Weapons, Armor, and Items.

Each Dungeon Fighter box can be played by itself and represents a complete adventure, but if you own more than one you can combine them to create your custom dungeon, greatly increasing the replayability of the game. Mix and match the various parts and create unprecedented throwing combos!

Here’s how you play: each round the Leader player will choose a Dungeon Room, where the party will have to fight an unexpected Monster! To defeat the fiend, you must throw dice at the target and hit its high-value spots to deal as much damage as possible. The zone where the die lands indicates the damage you deal to the Monster. But, if you miss the target, you will deal no damage at all...  and the Monster will strike back!

To make things worse, some Dungeon cards and Monster cards might present you with extravagant dice throwing challenges... you might have to close your eyes when facing Medusa, or throw the die while jumping if the floor of the room is on fire. And you might even have to do both at the same time!

Luckily, your Heroes also have three color-coded special abilities to help them with their quest. If your die lands showing a special icon, you will activate the special power of your Hero corresponding to the color of the die you have thrown. Choose your die wisely before the throw to activate the right power at the right time! Or, spend your special icon to level up your Hero and upgrade 1 of your powers instead, increasing the odds of activating it later.

You play in turns, blow after blow, Hero after Hero, like a real team, trying to deal enough damage to defeat the monster you encountered—before it kills you. And if your last strike is a real killer, like the ones from the movies where you get to say a catchy phrase afterwards, the party will also get an extra reward. No more “playing safe” in our Dungeons!

If you advance enough through a level, you reach the stairs and move to the next level... but first, it’s shopping time! The conveniently placed mid-level shops will allow you to spend you hard-earned rewards to heal your Heroes... and get some new fancy equipment!

After the fourth and final level of the Dungeon, you’ll reach the deepest room of the Dungeon, where you’ll have to defeat the Final Boss... or perish. We would strongly suggest you to try the first option, if given the chance, but... you do you. Are you up to the challenge? Are you a Real Hero? It’s time to prove your worth! Get a good night of sleep, do your stretches, delve into that Dungeon, and get the job done!
