Lords of the Dungeon

Description

Far below the surface world, ambitious lords delve in secret, each carving out a dungeon to call their own. You and your rivals must recruit cunning characters and build rooms worth fighting for, delving ever deeper and hoarding gold faster than anyone else. Lords of the Dungeon is a roll and write game for 1 to 5 players that will feel familiar to fans of dice-driven engine builders. On your turn, roll four dice and keep two, then activate a single column using either die or the sum of the pair. Every other lord activates a column from the two dice you leave behind, so the dungeon never goes quiet between turns. Some rooms only pay out on your turn, while others trigger whenever any player rolls. Either way, stack copies of the same room to earn more! Your characters, meanwhile, never wait for the right roll. They always work, every turn at the table! The moment you complete a column, you may instantly activate a room you already own or build another for free. Chain these moments together and your dungeon can explode in a single turn. The first lord to hoard 100 gold wins! —description from the publisher
