About the game
You and your fellow adventurers stand at the entrance to a dangerous dungeon full of treasure. Will you brave Goblins, Skeletons, and Oozes in order to collect more treasure? Or will you escape to safety, carrying out your loot? Bravery is rewarded, but many a foolhardy adventurer has had to flee when the Dragon arrives! Dungeon of Fortune is a push your luck dungeon crawl (in the world of Dungeon Roll) for 2-6 players where you compete with your opponents for the best share of the loot. The deeper into the dungeon you go, the more dangerous it will be, but the more loot you will find. Gain Experience from fighting monsters to level up, and keep a close watch for the infamous dragon!

Dungeon of Fortune 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 of Fortune is 30 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 of Fortune for ages 8 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 of Fortune has a complexity rating of 1.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
