Welcome Back to Dungeon Game Rules

Hey there! I’m excited to tell you all about the rules of the Dungeon game. It’s a really cool game, so let’s get started!

Objective of the Game

The objective of the Dungeon game is to explore the dungeon and find the treasure. You’ll encounter different challenges along the way, like monsters and traps, but don’t worry, you have tools to help you overcome them. Your ultimate goal is to reach the treasure and escape the dungeon safely.

Exploring the Dungeon

When you enter the dungeon, you’ll start in a room. Each room is connected to other rooms by doors. You can choose to move to another room by going through a door. Just tell me which door you want to go through, and I’ll take you there.

Be careful though! Some rooms have monsters or traps waiting for you. If you encounter a monster, you’ll have to fight it using your weapons and skills. If you encounter a trap, you’ll have to find a way to avoid it or disarm it. Choose your actions wisely, as they will affect your success in the game.

Tools and Abilities

You have a set of tools and abilities that you can use during the game. These include weapons, spells, and special skills. Each tool or ability has its own strengths and weaknesses. I’ll give you a brief overview of each:

• Swords: They are great for close combat. Use them to attack monsters and defend yourself.
• Spells: They allow you to cast powerful magic. Use spells to defeat enemies and solve puzzles.
• Lockpicks: They help you open locked doors and chests. Use them wisely to unlock hidden treasures.
• Healing Potions: They restore your health. Drink them when you’re hurt to regain strength.
• Stealth: It allows you to move silently and avoid detection. Use it to sneak past enemies without engaging in combat.
• Intelligence: It helps you solve puzzles and outsmart your opponents. Use it to find hidden paths and uncover secrets.

Winning and Losing

To win the game, you’ll need to find the treasure and make it out of the dungeon alive. You’ll face various challenges throughout the game, so be prepared to use your tools and abilities wisely. If you run out of health or make the wrong choices, it’s game over. But don’t worry, you can always start again and try different strategies to succeed.

So, are you ready to embark on this adventure? Put on your brave face, gather your courage, and let’s explore the Dungeon together!

When it’s time to explore the dungeon in Welcome to the Dungeon, we all want to be the hero. But there’s only room for one, so we must compete to see who gets to take on the challenge. In each round, we bid for the chance to be that courageous adventurer.

On your turn, you have three options: you can add dangerous monsters to the dungeon, take away equipment from the hero, or decide to drop out of the bidding. It’s a tough decision! But remember, the last player standing in the bidding will be the one to venture into the dungeon.

Inside the dungeon, the hero will face all the monsters that have been placed there this round. They’ll have to rely on whatever equipment they have left to survive. It’s a true test of bravery and wit!

What’s Included

In this box, you’ll find everything you need to start playing:

• 13 Monster cards
• 4 player aids
• 4 Adventurer tiles
• 24 Equipment tiles
• 8 Success cards
• Rule booklet

What’s the Goal?

The aim of the game is to successfully explore two Dungeons. If you manage to do that, you win! However, if you fail in two Dungeons, you’ll be out of the game. Alternatively, you can also win by being the last player remaining.

Getting Started

1. Choose an Adventurer, either by picking one or drawing one randomly. Keep in mind that all players will share the same Adventurer. To begin with, we suggest selecting the Warrior.

I’ll walk you through the steps of setting up the game:

1. Arrange the six Equipment tiles that correspond to the Adventurer you’ve chosen. For example, if you’re playing as the Warrior, line up the Plate Armor, Knight Shield, Vorpal Sword, Dragon Spear, Holy Grail, and Torch in that order.

2. Shuffle all the Monster cards and place them in a face-down deck.

3. Give each player a player aid card, which they should place in front of themselves with the white side facing up.

4. Decide on a location for the Dungeon pile. This is where you’ll place the Monster cards each round.

5. Put 5 Success cards nearby. These will come into play later, but keep the other 3 cards in the box.

6. Determine the starting player randomly.

Here’s a sample setup for 2 players:

Game Play

Let me tell you about how this game works. There are a few rounds, and in each round, we need to bid to decide who gets to take the Adventurer into the Dungeon.

Only one player can take the Adventurer into the Dungeon, and their success will determine if they win or lose the game.

Now, each round has two phases: the Bidding phase and the Dungeon phase.

Bidding Phase

During the Bidding phase, we take turns clockwise. When it’s your turn, you have two options:

• Draw a card from the Monster Deck.
• Pass your turn and sit out for the rest of the round. You’ll get to play again in the next round.

Remember: If the Monster Deck is empty, you have no choice but to pass when it’s your turn.

Draw a card

If you decide to draw a card, you’ll grab the first card from the Monster Deck. You’ll take a look at it by yourself without showing it to anyone else. Now, you have a few options to choose from:

1. Add the Monster to the Dungeon. To do this, I place the Monster card face-down on the Dungeon pile. The Dungeon pile is where all the Monsters are waiting for us if we decide to enter. It’s exciting, but we can’t peek at the cards and see what’s inside. That’s part of the challenge!
2. Place the Monster in front of you, face-down. If I choose this option, I have to give up one of my Adventurer’s items. I pick an Equipment tile from under my Adventurer and put it on the Monster. Both the Monster and the equipment are “discarded” for this round. But here’s the thing – if I draw a Monster card and I don’t have any more equipment, I have no choice but to add the Monster to the Dungeon pile.

Once I’ve made my decision, it’s time to pass the turn to the next player. The game moves clockwise from here.

The Bidding Ends – What Now?

Once all players but one have passed, the Bidding phase comes to an end. Now, it’s time for the remaining player to venture into the Dungeon alone, relying on whatever Equipment they have left. I press onward to the Dungeon phase.

Dungeon Phase

Only I, the player who did not pass, will participate in this phase. Let’s start by calculating my total Health Points (HP). I need to add up the HP values of the Adventurer tile and all the Equipment I still have. Then, let’s proceed to reveal the cards from the Dungeon pile, one by one.

• If I still have Equipment that can defeat the Monster, I can discard it without losing any HP.
• However, if I don’t have any suitable Equipment, I’ll lose HP equal to the Monster’s strength. Then, I’ll have to discard the Monster.

I will continue this process until there are no more Monsters left in the Dungeon.

If the total number of Health Points I lost in the Dungeon is less than the number of Health Points I had when I entered, then I succeeded! I made it out of the Dungeon alive! And as a reward, I get to take a Success card. If this is my second Success card, then I win the game! On the other hand, if the total number of Health Points I lost is equal to or greater than the number of Health Points I had when I entered, then I did not succeed. If my player aid card is currently showing its white side, I need to flip it over to show its red side. If my player aid card was already showing its red side, then I’m eliminated from the game. But if there’s at least one player remaining who hasn’t been eliminated, they become the winner!

Now it’s time to reveal all the Monsters that were discarded during the game.

The round is officially over. If nobody has won the game yet, then we start a new round.

Here’s a List of Monsters you might encounter:

• 

Goblin

Oh boy, do I have a story to tell you! It’s about a game called “Welcome Back to the Dungeon”. You’re in for a wild ride, my friend. Now, I know you’re probably wondering what this game is all about. Well, let me break it down for you.

Picture this: you find yourself in a big, creepy dungeon. It’s dark, damp, and full of all sorts of creatures. And guess what? You’re not alone. Oh no, my dear friend. There’s a goblin lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce on you.

But don’t worry, you’re not defenseless. You have a team of adventurers by your side, ready to conquer the dungeon and defeat the goblin. Each adventurer has their own special abilities and equipment that will help you on your quest.

But here’s the catch – the dungeon is filled with traps, monsters, and all sorts of challenges. You’ll need to think strategically and make tough decisions to survive. Do you dare to go deeper into the dungeon, knowing that danger lurks around every corner? Or do you retreat and live to fight another day?

The choice is yours, my friend. It’s up to you to navigate the twists and turns of the dungeon and emerge victorious. Will you be able to outsmart the goblin and claim your rightful place as the dungeon master? I believe in you.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your dice, gather your friends, and get ready for an epic adventure in “Welcome Back to the Dungeon”. It’s time to show that goblin who’s boss. Good luck, brave adventurer!

One thing I’ve learned is that strength comes in many different forms. You might think of physical strength, like being able to lift heavy objects or run fast. But strength can also be mental, emotional, and even spiritual. It’s about being resilient and not giving up, no matter what challenges come your way.

So, what exactly is strength? Well, it’s not about being invincible or never feeling pain. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Strength is about acknowledging your vulnerability and using it to fuel your growth. It’s about having the courage to face your fears and take risks. Strength is not just about muscles; it’s about mindset.

The Power Within

Strength is not something that can be measured by the size of your biceps or the number of push-ups you can do. It’s an inner power that resides within each of us. It’s the ability to keep going when things get tough, to rise above adversity, and to believe in yourself even when others doubt you.

Strength is not just about physical prowess; it’s about mental and emotional fortitude as well. It’s about staying positive and resilient in the face of challenges and setbacks. It’s about knowing that you have the power to overcome any obstacle that comes your way.

The Journey of Strength

Strength is not something that happens overnight. It’s not a destination; it’s a journey. It’s a lifelong process of learning, growing, and becoming the best version of yourself. It’s about embracing your flaws and turning them into strengths. It’s about learning from your mistakes and never giving up.

Strength is about being open to new experiences and stepping outside of your comfort zone. It’s about pushing yourself to the limit and discovering what you are truly capable of. It’s about embracing challenges and using them as opportunities for growth.

Cultivating Strength

So, how can you cultivate strength in your own life? It starts with a mindset shift. Instead of seeing obstacles as roadblocks, see them as stepping stones. Instead of focusing on what you can’t do, focus on what you can do. Instead of dwelling on past failures, focus on future successes.

Strength is not about being perfect; it’s about being resilient. It’s about bouncing back from failure and using it as a stepping stone to success. It’s about believing in yourself and your abilities, even when others doubt you.

The Choice is Yours

Strength is not something that is given to you; it’s something that you choose to cultivate. It’s a daily practice of self-reflection, self-care, and self-improvement. It’s about embracing your strengths and working on your weaknesses. It’s about being kind to yourself and others.

Strength is about having the courage to be your authentic self and to live life on your own terms. It’s about standing up for what you believe in and not being swayed by the opinions of others. It’s about having the resilience to keep going, no matter what.

So, remember, strength comes in many different forms. It’s not just about physical power; it’s about mental, emotional, and spiritual fortitude. It’s about believing in yourself and your ability to overcome any obstacle that comes your way. So, choose strength and embrace the power within you. You have the ability to achieve anything you set your mind to. Believe in yourself, and you will be unstoppable.



I want to talk to you about an important concept – strength. It’s something we’re all familiar with, but do we really understand it? Let’s delve into the meaning and significance of strength together, and explore how it can manifest in our lives.

What is Strength?

Strength is a powerful force that resides within each of us. It’s not just about physical power or muscle; it goes much deeper than that. Strength comes in various forms – mental, emotional, and even spiritual. It’s the ability to overcome challenges, bounce back from setbacks, and stay grounded in the face of adversity.

When we think of strength, we often picture superheroes or athletes, but strength is not limited to those realms. It is something we all possess, in different capacities. It’s about embracing our inner power and harnessing it to tackle the hurdles life throws our way.

The Importance of Strength

So, why is strength so important? Well, it’s like a secret weapon that empowers us to navigate life’s ups and downs. When we cultivate strength within ourselves, we become more resilient, confident, and capable of handling whatever comes our way.

Strength allows us to persevere in the face of challenges. It’s the inner voice that tells us not to give up, that we have what it takes to overcome obstacles. With strength, we can push through difficult times and emerge stronger on the other side.

Moreover, strength is contagious. When we embody strength, it inspires those around us. Our friends, family, and even strangers can draw inspiration from our ability to stay strong, prompting them to find their own inner power.

Choosing the Right Path

If you’re looking to enhance your strength, you must choose the right path. Strength isn’t about brute force or stubbornness; it’s about finding balance and understanding our limitations. It’s about making wise choices and taking care of ourselves.

Understanding our strengths and weaknesses is critical. By acknowledging our limitations, we can focus on building our strengths and making the most of them. It’s about working smarter, not just harder.

When it comes to building strength, it’s important to take into account our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This means nourishing our bodies with healthy food, engaging in regular exercise, and practicing self-care. It also means nurturing our minds by seeking knowledge and personal growth.

By following these principles, we can cultivate strength in our lives and become the best version of ourselves. Strength is not reserved for a select few; it’s available to each and every one of us. So, let’s embrace it and unleash our inner power.

Hey there! Let’s talk about the strength of an Orc. They’re known for being incredibly powerful creatures, and that’s not just a rumor.

When it comes to Orcs, it’s important to understand the true meaning of their strength. It’s a double-edged sword. On one hand, their raw power makes them fearsome warriors on the battlefield. They can crush enemies with a single blow and withstand immense amounts of damage. But on the other hand, their strength can also be their downfall. Orcs, being so focused on their physical power, sometimes lack finesse and strategy. That can leave them vulnerable to more cunning opponents.

So, if you’re looking for a brute force kind of ally, an Orc might be the perfect fit for you. They’re not known for their intellect or charm, but they make up for it with pure muscle. If you’re in need of someone who can smash through walls or crush boulders, an Orc is definitely your guy.

But remember, it’s not just about the muscles. Orcs have a rich culture and history that goes beyond their physical strength. They are a proud and honorable race, with their own traditions and values. So, if you’re interested in learning more about their lore and customs, you’re in for a treat.

Overall, the meaning of an Orc’s strength goes far beyond their ability to punch through walls. It’s about their resilience, their determination, and their indomitable spirit. So, if you’re ever in need of a loyal and powerful companion, an Orc might just be the one for you.



I want to talk about strength. It’s a fascinating concept. Have you ever wondered what makes someone strong? Is it just about physical power, or is there more to it? When I think about strength, a certain image comes to mind. It’s not about bulging muscles or superhuman feats. No, true strength is something deeper. It’s about having the courage to face challenges head-on, even when it’s hard. It’s about the resilience to keep going, even when you want to give up. Strength is about having a strong spirit, a resolve that won’t be broken.

When someone is strong, you can see it in their eyes. There’s a fire there, a determination that can’t be extinguished. They have an inner power that shines through, no matter what they’re facing. And that kind of strength is contagious. It inspires others to dig a little deeper, to find their own inner strength.

But strength isn’t just about the individual. It’s also about the community. When we come together, we become stronger than any one person could ever be. We can support each other, lift each other up, and accomplish incredible things. Together, we have the power to change the world.

The Importance of Strength



I’m here to talk about strength, specifically strength at level 7. When it comes to being a vampire, strength is a crucial attribute. You may think that being strong comes naturally to vampires, but it actually takes a lot of effort and training to reach a level 7.

Firstly, let’s talk about what makes a vampire strong. As a vampire, I have the ability to regenerate my strength quickly. This means that even if I use a lot of strength in a short amount of time, I can replenish it just as fast. It’s like having a never-ending supply of energy.

But it’s not just about having the ability to regenerate strength. It’s also about how you use that strength. When someone possesses strength at level 7, they have the power to overpower almost anything in their way. It’s a force to be reckoned with.

However, being strong at level 7 also comes with its challenges. With great power comes great responsibility, as they say. It’s important to use strength wisely and not let it consume you. Strength can be a double-edged sword if not wielded properly.

If you’re looking to reach level 7 strength as a vampire, there are a few things you should keep in mind. Firstly, you need to train your body and mind. Building strength takes time and effort, so don’t expect instant results. It’s a journey.

Additionally, you need to learn how to channel your strength effectively. It’s not enough to just be strong, you also need to know how to use that strength strategically. This comes with practice and experience.

So, if you’re a vampire looking to elevate your strength to level 7, remember that it’s a process. It takes time, dedication, and a willingness to push yourself to the limit. But the rewards are worth it. With level 7 strength, you’ll be a force to be reckoned with.

So, are you ready to take your strength to the next level? It’s time to embrace the power within you and become the strongest vampire you can be.



Hey there, it’s pretty cool that you’re interested in strength! Let’s dive right in and explore what it means to be strong, okay?

Dragon

New Round



So, here’s the deal: I’ve got these Monsters, but they’re a bit unruly. To get things started, I shuffle them up and place them face-down on the table. Now, it’s up to you to pick an Adventurer for us to use. We’ve got some options: Warrior, Barbarian, Mage, or Rogue. Once you’ve chosen your Adventurer, put them in the center of the table along with their Equipment.

Now, let’s get this show on the road! The player who just went into the Dungeon gets to go first. If that player has been eliminated, then the player on their left gets to go first. Simple enough, right?

The Final Stretch

So, how do you win this game? Well, you’ve got a couple of options:

• Score a second Success card. That’s a surefire way to victory.
• Knock out all the other players. It’s a bit rough, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Tiles



Ring Of Power

Imagine this: You’re in a Dungeon, facing a powerful Goblin and a formidable Skeleton. Your mission is to defeat them and emerge victorious. The stakes are high, but so is the reward. If you succeed, their combined strength will boost your HP.



The Amazing Vorpal Sword and Vorpal Dagger

Hey there! Let’s talk about the awesome Vorpal Sword and Vorpal Dagger, two powerful weapons you can use in your adventures. But before we dive in, I want to make sure you understand how they work. So, here’s the deal:

Imagine you’re in a dark and mysterious Dungeon, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. Before you reveal the first Dungeon card, you get to choose a type of Monster. This choice is crucial because the Vorpal Sword and Vorpal Dagger are specifically designed to defeat certain types of Monsters.

Here’s an example to help you grasp it better. Let’s say you choose to defeat Skeletons. And guess what? You hit the jackpot because there happen to be not one, but two Skeletons in the Dungeon! With your Vorpal Sword or Vorpal Dagger, you’ll defeat both of them in one mighty swoop.

So, the Vorpal Sword and Vorpal Dagger are like your trusty Monster-hunting companions. They help you take down those pesky creatures and clear your path. It’s certainly an advantage to have them by your side.

Remember, when you’re exploring the Dungeon, carefully choose the type of Monster you want to defeat. That way, you can make the most out of your Vorpal Sword or Vorpal Dagger. Happy hunting!



Vorpal Axe

When I come across the Vorpal Axe, I get to decide which Monster I want to defeat, right after I see the card. I don’t even know who the other Monsters in the Dungeon are yet!



The Power of Control

When I finish collecting all the Dungeon cards, I make sure that each Monster is unique. If they are, that means I triumphed in the round, even if I didn’t succeed at first.



Demonic Pact

When you encounter the last Monster in the Dungeon and it happens to be a Demon, all you need to do is defeat it. You don’t have to worry about the second part of the Demonic Pact at that point.



Polymorph

When the Monster Deck is empty, you won’t be able to use this ability anymore. It’s like running out of ammunition in a battle – you’re left defenseless.



The Magic Healing Potion

Hey there! Have you ever played a card game where you have to defeat monsters? Well, let me tell you about a very special card called the Healing Potion. It’s like having a magical drink that can heal you when you’re hurt.

So, here’s how it works. When you draw a Monster card, if your health points (HP) are 0 or less, you can drink the Healing Potion. It’s like taking a big sip from a powerful potion. And guess what? It will instantly set your HP to a certain number, depending on the type of adventurer you are.

If you’re playing as the tough Barbarian, the Healing Potion will give you 4 HP. That’s like getting a big boost of energy! But if you’re playing as the sneaky Rogue, you’ll get 3 HP from the potion. It’s still pretty good, right?

Using the Healing Potion is like having a secret weapon up your sleeve. It allows you to keep fighting and drawing more Monster cards, even if you were just about to lose the game. It’s like a second chance to prove your bravery and defeat those pesky monsters!

Now, let me share a variant of the game that the designer suggests. During the first turn of the Bidding phase, you must add the card you draw to the Dungeon. It adds an extra challenge to the game and makes it even more exciting!
