Dungeon Drop (2020) is a lightweight dungeon crawler for one to four where the dungeon is made by chance: colored cubes representing loot and monsters are dropped onto the table from six to twelve inches high, and wherever they land becomes the layout. You then guide a customized hero through it, flicking, drafting and collecting sets, deciding when to push your luck for another look at the treasure. No two dungeons are alike, and the whole thing takes about twenty minutes. It's a quirky mix of dexterity, set collection and enclosure that works solo or with up to four.

Who it's for

You like dungeon crawling but want it short and silly, with a layout built by a throw of the cubes.

Not for you if…

You want a deep, tactical dungeon campaign with story. This is a quick, luck-flavored crawl.

Vibe's take

Playful and unpredictable. You throw the cubes, laugh at the layout and then try to carve a safe path through it.
