got the game a couple years ago as a gift. I put it on the shelf for a couple of years not thinking much of it. Two years ago, another friend had the game as well and wanted to play it at a local game night. So we did. It was a great game, lots of fun, very easy to learn and pick up.
When another friend, who I had personally gotten in to table top gaming, wanted to do something simple but fun with his young children, I brought this down from the shelf and unwrapped it so he could play it with his kids. It was an amazing way for him to introduce his children in to a much larger world of gaming. His children was 5 and 7 at the time. They love the game and I think it has done well to bring his family closer together.


as a side note, don't play with his daughter. I don't know how, but she marches through everything in the damn game. Us two are getting owned in the first rooms, and she is just frolicking through dragons, mind-flairs, giants, you name it. She is like a little disney princess of death!
Never misses a fucking roll. How the Hell man, how the hell!

Played this with my kids 20+ years ago, starting now with my grandkids.

How many times can Nate say Dungeons & Dragons with emphasis in the span of 45 seconds? Watch this video to find out! :P

I picked this game up in Tacoma on your recommendation and have not regretted it. What a great game!

[RollInitiative]

I had completely forgotten about this game until seeing your review. I think my brother owned it and I remember playing it a few times as a kid. I like the artwork in the new version, much brighter than the version I remember.

I have had this game a while I really enjoy playing it. The more people you have playing the more fun it is.

I've not played this newer version, but I have the original version and second version. I love it! One of my favorite versions of D&D because it simplifies the game so that people who find RPGs confusing or intimidating can just dive in and play it. It's a great value in D&D stuff too. You get everything you need to play for less than what a new copy of a player's handbook costs. It also scratches the occasional itch I get to play video games like Gauntlet, only at the dining room table.

The KREO D&D stuff is super awesome! I found several of them at Big Lots a while back and I love displaying and messing with them. One of these days, I'm going to team up with a friend of mine who has a ton of LEGO stuff and we're going to make a LEGO/KREO D&D dungeon run with it. D&D Clue is quite fun as well. A great way to introduce the concept of role playing to people. In fact, if you play Dungeon! along with D&D Clue with a group like this, they get a simplified but still fun intro to fighting and exploring in the former and to investigating and intrigue 'non-combat' encounters in the latter. D&D Clue has a very very simple, optional monster fighting mechanic that makes it a little different from regular Clue as well.

OK, so I am a few years past seeing this, which is ok, some would say I’m a few years past my prime. I ad the 1982 version of this game in high school and college. Enter She kept it.About two years ago I saw the newer version and Barnes and Noble and picked it up. Over this weekend my roommate and I tried playing. We succeeded, albeit, completely incorrectly it seems. But it was fun enough to warrant another play. When I bought it, I was simply going to keep it as a collectible piece for the “I FINALLY HAVE IT BACK!!!” Claim. And my roommate is not the type I’d normally think of to play these. I was wrong! And we’re friends. Goes to show you can always find out something about someone. This review and run through was perfect and when we venture forth again, we’ll have a better understanding. I’m also grabbing a dice tower....she’s a bit of a wild roller. Thank you.

We're doing a fun class assignment with board games. I chose this game because it seemed really fun. Along with two other students. I may be too late, but this definitely helped me smooth out the edges when it comes to understanding the rules of the game.

[Nutmeg]

My grandson (6 yrs) and I play this game frequently. We will play two games in succession. First we play by the rules, and the next, I let him make up his own rules. Usually something along the lines of picking one of the monsters as a pet that helps you defeat the others. He really has a lot of fun with it, so, in turn, I have a lot of fun as well. This is a great vehicle for introducing him to the concepts of D&D proper, so I think we are well under way to graduating to the next level.

I really appreciate your review. It was really helpful After watching your review it occurred to me that I actuallyuse to have this game. I had the version from 1982. I remember playing it and I totally loved it. What made me remember was the part about being able to lose treasure and having it available for anyone to steal. My 5 year daughter actually likes playing Talisman and has been able to play for up to 3 hours which amazes me. I'm definitely going to try this game with her as well. Thank you for your review of the game. It brought back a lot of fun memories

[EtienneDomingue]

Splendid. I just came across this game at a rummage sale. Thanks for summarizing the rules. It looks like a fun thing to try with the gang one night I don't feel like DMing.

If you like this you might also like Bag of Dungeon which is a new light dungeon crawler similar to old school games like tunnels and trolls, Dungeons & Dragons etc.

[ronoshmago]

Bought this for myself for Christmas and can't wait to play I had the original version and it got lost to the ages, SO LOOKING forward to playing this with my kids!

[TheAquaman]

Awesome review! Just got the game for Christmas and the kids love it! P.S. the insert folds up and is meant to hold the cards as they were packaged upon first opening!

[goodwill_hunting]

First I'd like to say i am a new subscriber and I'm learning a good amount about ttrpg games from the channel, I am new to all of it and so are my kids. I just picked this up from Barnes and Noble because I wanted to give them and myself an introduction to the D&D world and it's thing this was a perfect way to do it. Cheers

[lorinatidc]

Great cover WASD20. Well done and it's a pretty cool game for the collection. Nice opinion piece on the end too to break down various perspectives. Keep up the great Channel Work.

[dGamer]

I played the 1982 & 1989 versions. Driders and Gelationous Cubes are a new addition to the current edition of Dungeon!

[bardthebowman]

I found co op rules online. I enjoy playing that way. Overall this is a great game for when you need a dungeon crawl but dont have time for d&d.

[felscorf]

Yeah... I passed by this game after one look at the cover; with that said I think you made a good case for it even if it still isn't my cup of tea.
On a side note I stand corrected about how young someone can start playing tabletop (something I said during the last mappening)
