Description

In Dungeon Busters, 3 to 5 players take on the role of heroes exploring dungeons and defeating monsters in search of treasures. The game is all about finding the right balance between cooperation and betrayal, as players need to work together to defeat monsters, but also look out for their own interests. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, this 20-minute game is easy to pick up and play. As players simultaneously play power cards face-down, they need to bluff and negotiate with each other to come out on top. If two or more players play the same value, they are all ignored, and if players are defeated, the player who played the lowest value has to return some treasures as a penalty. But if they succeed in defeating the monster, they can divide the rewards, with the player who played the lowest value going first.
