A classic board game of dungeon exploration returns!

Dungeon! is a fast-paced game where you and your friends can decide which way to go in the hunt for bigger and better treasure.

Will you stick to level 1 and clear out the Goblins and Kobolds? Or will you delve deep into level 6 and set your sights on the Purple Worm or the Red Dragon? Along the way, you’ll have to face off against such iconic monsters as the Black Pudding, the Drow, and even the Owlbear!

Featuring simple, straightforward rules that are easy to learn, Dungeon! is perfect for a fantasy game night, or a warm-up before your next epic game of D&D!

Yes!! I love this game! I got it for Christmas when I was a kid and it's responsible for getting me into D&D. I'm really glad it's coming back. Definitely picking the new one up.

Going to miss the old Erol Otus art, though:

That's actually by Jim Roslof (you can see his signature in the left corner) though having owned that precise edition of the game, I do recall some good old Otus art in the rules I think. Good times.
If this is functionally the same game, I'm going to have to pick this up.

Anybody know what that monster on the old box is even supposed to be? I'd call it a manticore, if the manticore were equal parts scorpion, moldy bat, and Dr. Zoidberg.

 

[Mercutio01]

That's excellent. I know what's going to the top of my Christmas list this year. I have been looking for a used copy to play with my daughters for awhile, but I didn't really want to use a collectible copy in everyday play. Now I'll be able do both!

 

[Nikosandros]

I'm a bit confused. First we had an announcement about this game that is declared a hoax by WotC and then, immediately after, the game is really announced after all?

I've got the original version of the game (which predates the one linked above), but I'll be getting one for my family and one for my brother's -- he and I played endless games of "clean out" -- clearing out the whole dungeon instead of just reaching the victory conditions and heading back to the entrance -- in middle school and high school, and it's time to indoctrinate the next generation.

Totally buying this when it comes out.

Here's a couple of pics of the prototype boards from the original game brought to Gary Con IV by Dave Megarry.

This is a game which has roots going back to intertwine with the origins of D&D itself. I wonder how similar the new version will be to the original?
