Rule Book
General Rules
How to Get Started:
Take the room tile and place them in the middle of the group upside down and in a grid-like
fashion within the solid board frame. The boss room and the starting room should be on the opposite ends
of each other. Next, pick out your classes and look over them to gain familiarity and then, from 1 through
4, decide which number each person is and that’s how the order of turns starts out.

Movement Rules:
Players start off together on the same tile and move independently from each other through the rooms.

Your movement is limited to 1 tile per turn.

Moving to a tile opens the room and reveals whether there is a Monster, Trap, or an empty room.

Special cases:
There are special cases where movement changes.

Entering a Frozen Tomb (Trap), or opening the Shop disables your movement for the turn.

Teleport Tablets (Shop consumable) allow a player to move up to 2 tiles in any direction. Players cannot
move the turn they teleport. Teleporting to a new room via this item opens the room.

Finding a Teleporter (Trap) allows the player to teleport to a tile adjacent to any ally. The room is opened
after Teleporting.

Shop Rules:

Opening the shop disables your movement for the turn. When opening the shop, the player reveals the
top 3 cards of the Shop deck and can choose 1 or none of the items revealed.

The player then takes any items purchased from the shop deck and can put them under their character.
Characters are enhanced in different ways depending on the items purchased.

Consumable Items are purchasable when the player opens the shop. After the 3 items are revealed, the
player shopping can choose one of the items, or an item from the consumables deck. The consumable
items are one-time use and are returned to the consumable deck after use.

Combat rules:
Once you step into a room, you draw the number of monster cards from the pile as stated in the
room tile then, you must wait for your next turn. The order of operations during combat goes like this;
1. Player(s) in combat turn
2. Monster(s) in combat turn
 3. Player(s) not in a combat turn.
4. repeat.
During combat, you can choose between a base attack on one targeted monster as described in
your character card or choose one of your skills based off what you have rolled with a six-sided die. Each
skill will be assigned to a number of 1 through 6. Each skill is detailed on the character card for more
specifics. You get one action per turn, which includes using your base attack, your skills, or a consumable
item. If there are multiple monsters in the room, you can choose which one to target.
When it’s the monster(s) turn to attack, one player must roll a six-sided die for a monster to
determine what they do (Read the monster card for more details or the “Bestiary” section of the rule
book) and a four-sided die to determine who they do it upon. If there are only 2 players in a combat
situation then they both occupy 2 numbers, for example, one player would be evens while the other would
be odds. If there are 3 players in a combat situation, then the fourth number that isn't occupied by a player
counts as a reroll.
If in combat you decide you want to retreat, you can however, you must wait for your turn and if
all players leave the room, the monster(s)’s health regenerates back to full but remain the same. If one
player dies, then they must wait to be revived after the room is cleared by a fellow teammate. If the whole
party dies, then they go back to the previous room the players have cleared with full health but lose 1 gold
each.
You can keep track of your health and the monster(s)’s health with a 20-sided die.
