Dungeon Heroes Manager is a board game released in 2016 for 2–6 players, 60–90 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Andrea Chiarvesio and Pierluca Zizzi.
Dungeons are full of treasures, and some people return from them covered in glory, gems, and gold nuggets. More common, however, are the ones who died inside! You are obviously tempted by the chance to enrich yourself, but you don't want to be one of those who won't see the sun again. Luckily there are always many idiots lingering in inns who you can trick by promising glory and money, brave heroes ready to enter the deep caves occupied by terrible monsters and risk not coming back with their arms full of treasure. In Dungeon Heroes Manager, you are sponsors of the "dungeon cleaning operations" in the kingdom. Thanks to public funds (you obviously don't want to risk your own money), you will hire cannon fodder, er, brave heroes in the local inns, equip and train them, then send them toward castles and caves to loot them and clean up of dangerous monsters — all in order to get richer shamelessly. But note that Dungeon Heroes Manager is a game in which the richest — and not the bravest — hero will win!
Dungeon Heroes Manager supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Dungeon Heroes Manager is 60–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Dungeon Heroes Manager for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Dungeon Heroes Manager has a complexity rating of 2.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
