About the game

You’re trapped in the dungeon below Brüttleburg, but there is a chance for escape! Make your way through the maze-like corridors, collecting loot and battling monsters, and find the exit first to win! Watch out though, in addition to lurking monsters, there could be a jailor around the next corner, or one of your opponents trying to stop you! Players draw a card from the Dungeon Deck & place it in a legal spot. If the dungeon card indicates a Loot or a Monster those are drawn and placed face down on the map. Loot collected can improve or impede your combat results. Players then move one square on the dungeon map and resolve combat with the roll of a d6 with the intent of escaping the dungeon.
