Dungeon of Mandom VIII

Players take turns daring each other to enter a monster-filled dungeon with progressively less equipment. Each round begins by choosing a base hero and giving that hero a full set of equipment; the start player then either draws a monster card or passes. Drawn monsters can be kept (forcing the challenger to discard a piece of equipment) or placed face down to build the dungeon deck. Players pass until a single challenger remains. That player flips the dungeon deck and resolves monster encounters using remaining equipment and hit points; some gear cancels damage or increases survivability. A surviving challenger wins the round; elimination occurs after losing two rounds, and the game ends when a player wins two rounds or is the last person standing. The box adds multiple heroes, monsters, and equipment variants to the original set.
