Description Edit | History

Dungeon Twister is a 2-player high level strategy game where 2 teams of adventurers with various powers are trapped in a dungeon. The board is composed of 8 rooms that can be moved and rotated by the players. Each turn, a player is able to spend actions to move around the dungeon, pick up and use items, battle with the opponents team, or turn and move the rooms of the dungeon.

The goal is to reach 5 victory points. Points are collected by moving adventurers out of the dungeon or by killing an opponent's adventurer. Treasures are disseminated across the whole dungeon and will bring the adventurers well-needed powers.

Each player has the same characters, each with different powers. Some run fast, some fight or disarm traps. The cleric heals, magician burns everything in sight and the goblin is so weak that the simple fact of getting him out will bring you two victory points.

Combat and actions are managed via cards. To move, fight, heal or turn a room, you must manage action points obtained by playing cards. Those cards are not drawn but selected from a set of cards by both players. Both players have access to the same panel of cards at the beginning of the game so the game is really about managing the resources and adapting to the changing environment.

Dungeon Twister is the original game in the Dungeon Twister series

8 Dungeon Twister Player Aid Cards
When trying to explain Dungeon Twister to a new player, or even when introducing a new element to an experienced player, I keep running into people who become overwhelmed and walk away. So, in hopes of avoiding these ugly scenes next time around, I've made up a deck of cards. Each card contains some piece of information -- before the game starts, the new player is given just the cards that apply to the layout they're about to play, giving a full set of reference tools right at their fingertips. I've got high hopes for this, and I'm willing to listen to any suggestions anyone might have for improving them. The cards currently cover the basic set, Paladins and Dragons, and Forces of Darkness, plus the Purple Dragon and the Disciple. I don't have any plans to add any of the other...
