They met in an inn: a mighty warrior, a cunning wizard, a haunted priest and a cunning thief. Soon after, they formed an inseparable team of adventurers ready to remove all evil from this world. They started with the closest one: a certain overlord had tunnelled into a nearby hill and filled them with traps, treasures, and trolls. So the heroes decided to attack the underground and punish the wicked ruler. As luck would have it, it's you.
Lords of the Dungeon is a resumption of the cult strategy game full of humor and wicked tricks. Participants take on the role of young managers who apply for an official license granted by the Ministry of Underground. During the trial period, they will dig tunnels, mine gold, hire monsters, create traps and do all the things that are needed in a proper dungeon. This is not an easy task, because the competition is not sleeping and the heroes are just waiting to interrupt us.
What is it about?
The game takes place in 2 stages:
1. Building, when players expand and improve their dungeons, rent imps, recruit monsters, buy traps, and pay taxes. The dungeon lords with the most unpleasant reputations attract the most powerful do-gooders, while those slightly weaker go to the less dangerous dungeons.
2. Fights during which the rulers of the underworld try to defend their territories. In each of the 4 turns, adventurers will try to conquer 1 dungeon space created by the player. We can defend ourselves using traps and monsters acquired during construction to eliminate adventurers as quickly as possible before they conquer too much of the dungeon.
Both phases make up 1 year, and the entire game lasts 2 years. The number of moves is therefore limited, and we have to make informed decisions.
