Overview
Dungeon Roll is a dice rolling dungeon crawl where you try to delve as far into the dungeon as possible. In the box/treasure chest you get.....1 Rule Book
1 Book of Heroes
24 Experience Tokens
These come in denominations of 1, 3, 5 and 10 and you will receive them based on how far you delve into the dungeon and for defeating a dragon.
36 Treasure Tokens
You will receive treasure tokens for opening treasure chests during your delve and for defeating a dragon.
Token explanations:
- Top row, left to right
- Town Portal: Collect experience equal to current Dungeon Level and escape the Dungeon. So if you are at level 7 of the dungeon and you left without this token you would gain 7 experience, with this token you would gain 14 experience.
- Dragon Bait: Transform all remaining monsters into Dragon Faces. This would allow you to fight the dragon, you would not want to do this unless you had 3 separate party members.
- Dragon Scale: Each pair of Dragon Scales is worth two additional experience at the end of the game. These are useless in the actual delve, but good for gaining experience.
- Potion: Revive 1 Party Die from the Graveyard and choose its face. Potions are your best friend in delves allow you to revive a used Party Die as any character you want.
- Ring of Invisibility: Clear all dice from the Dragon's Lair. This does not count as defeating the Dragon. You would want to use this if you have to fight a dragon and you are incapable of defeating the dragon; you do not gain experience or treasure by using the ring to sneak past the dragon.
- Scroll: Can be used as a Scroll. Scrolls allow you to re-roll any number of Party and/or Dungeon Dice.
- Bottom row, left to right
- These can all be used as party members and kill monsters and dragons, open chests and use potions.
- Scepter of Power: Can be used as a Mage.
- Vorpal Sword: Can be used as a Fighter.
- Talisman: Can be used as a Cleric.
- Thieves' Tools: Can be used as a Thief.

My 2 Cents
I really, really like this game. Here are the reasons I like it!- Simple and easy to learn
- You can teach this game to people very quickly, within just a few minutes, or by having them play as the dungeon master on the first delve
- Kids can play it
- My 7 year old was able to play this game easily
- Quick to play
- You can pull this game out and play solo in 10-15 minutes
- Solo
- Great for those time when there is no one else to play a game with or when traveling by yourself
- Small footprint
- The box is 4.1" wide and doesn't take up much space; I love games, but they start to take up a lot of space over time
- Travel friendly
- Because it comes in a small box it travels easily
- Replay ability
- When I purchased this game I did not expect that it could be replayed over and over but I was wrong; having multiple heroes and a press your luck style to it gives it good replay ability.
