How it plays
Who am I in this game?
Beneath the kingdom of Maventry twists a magical dungeon that rearranges itself as four would-be heroes brave its halls. Only one hero may walk back out through the door they came in — treasure in hand — to be crowned king or queen of Maventry.
How do I play?
Choose your hero and step through the door together. On your turn, place rooms to outsmart and outmaneuver your rivals while pushing toward the treasure. Watch for traps, riddles and monsters — mistakes send you back.
How do I win?
The first hero to walk back out through the door they entered, treasure in pack, wins the throne of Maventry.
Game Mechanics
- Map Addition
- Modular Board
- Racing
- Variable Player Powers
Four heroes. Four paths.
The Magician
Bends the rules of the dungeon itself — peeking past doors and twisting the map mid-race.
The Fighter
Charges down monsters that would slow other heroes to a crawl.
The Thief
Slips past traps that catch the careless — and snatches treasure others thought was theirs.
The Cleric
When the dungeon punishes the bold, the cleric recovers faster than rivals.
Inside the dungeon
Every game builds a different dungeon. Here are some of the cards you’ll meet along the way. Click a card to see it up close.
Traps
Step wrong and the dungeon sends you back. Roll dice and add the ability shown to get through.
Monsters
They block the path, unless your hero knows how to handle them. Roll plus Attack to win.
Treasure
The whole reason you came. Grab it, and run for the door.
