About the game
Dungeon Royale is an entry level strategy board game that mimics retro handheld console gameplay (and box/board design). Players begin with a certain number of lives based on their level w/in the game. When they are killed by other players, they re-spawn back at the beginning as if in a video game. Players have weapons that allow them to attack others on the board at certain positions but must move strategically as the other players reveal their moves all at the same time. The purpose of the game is to escape with the elixir of life while accomplishing missions and capturing as many artifacts and gaining as many kill points as possible. Story: The King is dying and has commissioned 2-4 heroes to capture the stone of life in a nearby dungeon from its Dragon guardian. Only each of the other heroes is battling for their own glory and will not be afraid to kill you in order to capture the stone and other valuable artifacts for themselves. Your goal is to either capture the stone yourself, or complete other missions and gather other valuable artifacts to bring back home. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Dungeon Royale supports 2–4 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 Royale is 45–90 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 Royale for ages 6 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 Royale has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
