About the game
Dungeon Digger is a dungeon building game populated by weird heroes, ridiculous Lords of the Dungeons, lethal traps and humid, stinky dark tunnels in which players take on the role of horrible Dungeon Lords ready to sacrifice their servants — the Stooges — to dig the most intricate underground dungeon and annihilate their opponents. Dungeon Digger is a competitive comic-fantasy boardgame with a duration of 40-60 minutes, for 2 to 6 players of age 12 or more. The strengths of this game reside in: Strategic building game that lets you try different game scenarios and will entertain you for hours of fun! A typical game lasts one hour, including the explanation; so your Stooges know who's the boss! Super funny illustrations depicting the Stooges typical life and an easy self-explaining graphic design. Fortune factor and randomness are reduced to a minimum thanks to a balanced Order system and the possibility to swap the tiles they can choose among. If you lose a Dungeon Digger game the fault will be mostly yours!
