Paper Dungeons

I don't generally enjoy roll and writes, or beat-your-own score games, and Paper Dungeons is both - but it's a blast! You rampage through a dungeon (it's all revealed from the start) gaining artifacts and gems, fighting monsters and minions (and always winning! though you'll take damage) and leveling up in search of glory points. If you die you're resurrected (it'll cost you points) and you can try different strategies. You can find play tips on Boardgame Geek but you'll have more fun discovering them on your own. Easy to learn, good both solo and in groups, and plays in 30 minutes. Minuses: you might find it too easy, dungeons in the campaign are too samey, and you're unlikely to want to play several games in a row. But for a filler game, or for a heroic adventure once a month, it's great value for your money.

Fun game, nothing out of the ordinary for fantasy games.

This has the makings of a great roll & write. It’s fun to play, dynamic from game to game, great solo or with a group, and has plenty of room for decisions. Well worth the price of admission.

Really good roll and write. Theme fits and combos are fun to discover and satisfying to achieve. Doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. Great for work travel and solo nights in hotels.

I love roll and write games, and this dungeon scrawler did not disappoint. The different monsters and dungeon layouts from the scenario cards increase replay value and the theme is spot on and well executed.
