About the game
The Monsters Dice Set adds a whopping 12 new Monster Dice, as well as new Bosses and Tiles, and the much requested Dice Bags! There are 8 copies of the new Minor Monsters Dice, adding Harpies, Gargoyles, Rust Insects, Kobolds, Zombies, and Dire Rats to the dungeons of Masmorra! There are also 4 copies of the Major Monster Dice that will bring more diversity to the second level of the dungeon, with the threat of Beastmen, Hydras, Death Knights, Lizards, Medusas, and Manticores! These dice are mixed with those of the core box and drawn randomly when a tile requires a monster spawn of that given type. To help you out with the process of drawing random dice, and also to help store all your dice, this set comes with two custom Dice Bags, one for Minor Monsters, and another for Major Monsters! But The Monsters Dice Set doesn't have only dice, it also features a couple of new Bosses, represented by tokens, to haunt your dungeon! Get ready to test your valour against Cun-Ha, the corrupted pharaoh, and Lord Blinkerton, the... whatever that thing is.
