Favorite Dungeon Exploring Boardgame

enelson · August 23, 2007, 05:02:44 PM

What do you consider is the most fun dungeon exploring boardgame? Is it:

Talisman (new edition)
Dungeoneer
Dungeon Twister
Other?

I am looking for a diversion from our normal rpg session that takes no more than 2 hours to play.

Thanks!

Eric

You might try heroscape; it's not a dungeon exploring boardgame, but it's what we play when we want a break. It takes about 1.5-2.5 hours to play. It is a lot of fun.

The Oder of the Stick Adventure Game?

Dang, my favorite fantasy boardgame is Magic Realm. It takes two hours to set up, though...some really dedicated fans have made a computerized version called RealmSpeak that's an incredibly good tool for learning the game, however...but not what you're looking for here.

HeroQuest (Milton Bradley) is THE dungeon boardgame. Not cheap in its time, probably not cheap now.

Dungeoneer does look good.

Magic Realm is teh awesome. Also, Divine Right.

Too bad these games have become so expensive.

Dungeonquest, naturally.

Ditto. And, yes, two hours is basically the setup time, so sorry.

Descent, Runebound, and some of those other FFG thingies look cool, but I've never taken the plunge.

Unless that new edition of Talisman is significantly different from the earlier ones, this isn't something that you can count on: the game can drag on for a very, very long time.

I love divine right, I read that a new edition was coming out this summer, but I haven't seen sign of it.

Chalk up another fan of Magic Realm... one of the coolest games ever made.

Heroquest was fun back in the day, although I haven't played it in at least 10 years.

My suggestion is to turn your monopoly board upside down and use it to hold the two decks for a rousing game of Munchkin Fu.
