Everyone builds the dungeon together, and the last person standing has to walk into it.
Who it's for
Groups who enjoy nervy push-your-luck games and don't mind needling each other into backing down first.
Not for you if…
You want a real dungeon-crawl adventure, because the actual dungeon here is just the tense final showdown.
Vibe's take
tense, bluffy, quick, mean-spirited fun, nerve-wracking
Welcome to the Dungeon is a game of daring everyone else to chicken out first. Each round, the group builds a shared dungeon by drawing monster cards, either making it scarier for whoever goes in or stripping the hero's equipment to weaken the threat before it counts. Fold too early and you're safe but empty-handed; stay in too long and you're the one walking into that dungeon with whatever gear survived. It's brutally simple, played almost entirely through nerve and reading the table, and a full round rarely takes longer than a few tense minutes. Perfect filler for a group that likes needling each other.
