One Card Dungeon

 

I played " One Card Dungeon " which is a one card, 12 level, 1 player dungeon game.  The instructions take about 10 minutes to read and setup is extremely easy.  The board shows you were to place your green dice and the monsters red dice. 

Game play follows an energy phase, adventure phase, monster movement phase, monster attack phase then repeats. You continue playing this way until you either kill all the monsters and take the steps down to the next level or die. 

Your movement is dictated by the stationary white dice and the black dice that you roll. As you move down into the next level of the dungeon you may increase the number on one of your white dice.  The monsters speed, attacks, defense are printed on the card. The number of monsters (1-4) varies by level. 

On my first try I made it to level 3 where I died.  This took me 21 minutes of game play. 

The game is fairly easy to start playing.  You begin to learn strategy such as where to place your dice after the first couple of turns. I started placing the higher dice rolled with my attack dice to make sure I was able to inflict some sort of damage to the monsters. While I originally thought this game was for kids, it proved harder then I thought. 

I would like to keep playing until I defeat the level 12 monsters and "win" the game. I also appreciated the size of the game, which is easy to take anywhere.  It can fit in a coat pocket or purse and be played while you find yourself "waiting."
