An amazing (heroic) drawing game by Ulrich Blum for 2 to 4 Dungeon Masters for ages 10+ our own dungeon! You’ve dreamed about it for years. Until now, you could only spread fear and terror as a dungeon tenant. Until now,Y your fortune wasn’t depleted due to adventurous heroes (who overestimated themselves and will probably rot as corpses in their pathetic armor anyway). No, it was the constant rent increases from the dungeon rental companies that drove you to ruin! They claimed the increases were justified due to all the repairs necessitated by hero infestations. But that’s all over now. Your own dungeon! Chance brought it your way. During a shopping excursion in the Fallen Outlet Center while looking for new traps, you discovered a posted ad: “Dungeon for sale, direct from the owner!” This was your opportunity to finally stop throwing your coins away to your landlord demons and to turn the tables on the heroes. The price was amazingly cheap. You didn’t even have to pay a broker troll’s commission! Your own dungeon! Today you’re going to see it for the first time. There, that has to be it, the entrance to your new realm. You strut in and find a gigantic cave. Hmm, wait a second, why a cave? And it’s completely empty! Where’s the dungeon? There aren’t any walls to create maze-like corridors. There aren’t any traps to cause malicious injuries to adventurers. And worst of all: there aren’t any monsters to defeat heroes for you! Now it dawns on you ... that’s why it was so cheap. How are you supposed to hide your treasures from marauding adventurers here? After all, hero season is about to begin! There’s only one thing left to do. It’s time to go shopping at the nearby dungeon discount outlet and then off to the nearest monster tavern to hire staff so everything will be ready in time for the heroes headed for your own dungeon!
