This dungeon is created by the laying down of Map cards. You collect Glory and Peril as you move through the dungeon.

Most of the fun comes from the theme, and surprising combination of events that occur. Dungeoneer is likely to appeal to those who enjoy a classic dungeon crawl and RPG like action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVault of the Fiends\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efeatures a few new mechanics that should serve to enhance the game play which players of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/5576\/dungeoneer-tomb-lich-lord\"\u003eTomb of the Lich Lord\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewill be familiar with. Some monsters, and attack cards are “pumpable” that means you may spend extra Glory or Peril to boost the effectiveness of the card. Also conditions on the map change such as effects being deactivated when a certain Quest is completed or throwing a switch in a room to extend a bridge across the Fiery Chasm. One of the more unexpected new mechanics are “artifact” Quests, such as the Armor Golem’s Glove which makes your hero more powerful or the Sunken Treasure which makes your hero faster. These do not confer a level, but are rotated 180 degrees so you can read the bonus they provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/wiki\/page\/Dungeoneer_Series#\"\u003eDungeoneer Series\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlas Games Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069071081684,"sku":"AG1242","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/2309\/8324\/files\/dungeoneer0003group-3.jpg?v=1763079824","url":"https:\/\/role-players.shop\/products\/vault-of-the-fiends-dungeoneer-2e","provider":"Role-Players","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
