How to use: First, set up the core game as per the instructions. Include the mini - expansions if you want more variety. Each player starts with a basic dungeon layout. During the game, players take turns drafting and playing cards to expand their dungeons one chamber at a time. Try to follow the blueprint and meet the scoring challenges. You can choose different strategies like mapping passages, placing elements, or finding treasure. Between rounds, use your gold to add monsters, traps, treasures, and secret passages to your labyrinth. After four 'years' of gameplay, the player with the most perilous dungeon wins. Notes: Remember that the paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless it's specifically stated. Also, make sure all players understand the rules before starting. Maintenance: Keep the cards in a card protector to prevent wear and tear. Store the game in a cool, dry place to avoid damage to the components.
