About the game
Never venture in the same old dungeon again. Twisted Dungeons is a supplement for Four Against Darkness, suited for all levels of play, that will change your dungeons forever. It’s easy to use: just roll d88 (two eight-sided dice) as the adventure starts, and read the corresponding numbered entry. The book will inject unpredictable events and themes into your dungeon exploration: 64 dungeon complications, ranging from mosquito infestation to teleporting mirrors, from slippery tunnels carved out of ice to chambers with magic-enhancing properties. Most complications will come with interesting rewards, in experience or loot. Twisted Dungeons may be used alongside its companion volume, Twisted Minions, to create even more random variations. With a bit of common sense, it will work with any book in the Four Against Darkness line.

Questions and answers
Twisted Dungeons supports 1 player according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Twisted Dungeons is 45–75 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 Twisted Dungeons for ages 13 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.
Twisted Dungeons belongs to these categories: Fantasy, Print & Play, and Exploration. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Paper-and-Pencil. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Twisted Dungeons are: Andrea Sfiligoi. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Twisted Dungeons as an expansion for Four Against Darkness. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Four Against Darkness to use it. Check that your edition of Four Against Darkness is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
