How to play Rogue Dungeon: 2nd Edition

In Rogue Dungeon: 2nd Edition, each player chooses a hero with different skills and equipment. Preparation involves forming decks of both treasure and monster cards, as well as organizing damage and currency tokens.

Start by playing the dungeon card, revealing challenges and opportunities. As you explore, you face monsters using attack, defense or special ability cards, spending action points as necessary.

In combat, use dice to determine the success of attacks and defenses. Strategically prepare your moves by balancing between attacking, defending or using your hero's special abilities.

It's important to collect treasures throughout the adventure, using the coins you collect to upgrade your equipment in the stores you find along the way. Manage your inventory efficiently to maximize the resources you obtain.

The aim is to reach and defeat the dungeon's final boss. Plan your strategies to save resources, as the challenge gradually increases as you progress through the dungeon levels.

Mechanics of Rogue Dungeon: 2nd Edition

  • Critical Hits and Misses - This mechanic determines extreme results in actions within the game. When a player makes a move and obtains a maximum or minimum number of dice, a critical hit or failure occurs respectively. A critical hit can result in additional bonuses or devastating effects against enemies, while a critical failure can have negative consequences, such as the complete failure of an action or temporary penalties.

Each player takes on a specific role with unique abilities, and synergy between characters is essential for progress in the game. Communicating strategically, sharing resources and supporting each other are key to success.
  • Events - While exploring the dungeon, players encounter events, which are special situations or scenarios that can have a variety of effects. These events can be opportunities to earn rewards, find allies, face traps or unexpected threats. How players choose to respond to these events can influence the course of the game.
  • End by Sudden Death - This mechanic introduces an element of risk to the game, where certain events or conditions can result in immediate defeat, with no possibility of recovery. This creates constant pressure on players to carefully manage health, resources and make considered decisions to avoid sudden death.
  • Hand Management - Players have hands of cards that represent skills, items and actions. Efficient management of these cards is crucial, as it determines the options available during each player's turn.
