Having a hard time fighting the Boss Monster Dice?

   Here is a quick house rule to use in your Dungeon Attack! games. When rolling the Boss Monster Dice, if a Skull/Defeated Monster symbol comes up on the first roll, you get a free re-roll in an attempt to defeat it. Another Skull on the re-roll and the Boss Monster Die is defeated. With this rule adventurers without a special ability to re-roll or who do not have a magical item, still have a chance to defeat the Boss Monster Die. Even with this rule each monster die may only be re-rolled once per turn.

   Thank you Hector DeJesus for coming up with this simple, ingenious rule. We will be using this rule from now on in our games.

For a true cooperative Dungeon Attack! game, pool everybody's gold after you've cleared the last dungeon level. Remember that magic items are worth 3 gold each and artifacts are worth 5 gold. The total is used to measure your group's success and as a benchmark for future games.

Also, if you like, use the chart below to measure your adventurer's success.

 50+  Gold . . . Excellent, you've hit the mother lode.
16-49 Gold . . . No bad, there are plenty of more dungeons to explore.
 0-15 Gold . . . Better luck next time, you've hit the welfare dungeon.

The chart above assumes you are using between 14 and 20 monster dice for each level and playing the standard three level dungeon.

The Attack Dice System is very conducive to solitaire play. For Dungeon Attack! no rule additions or changes are necessary. Just pick an adventurer and start rolling. The Mighty Warrior and the Sneaky Thief are the best for this mode. Keep track of how much gold you come out with and compare it to other players or previous attempts.

In this version of Dungeon Attack! basically everyone plays a peasant (no Adventurer Cards necessary, just x16 dice and some tokens) with an Attack Rating of 1 (Max number of kills per roll) and no special abilities. Very challenging game where cooperation is the key to success.

In this version of Dungeon Attack! all players are greedy and do their best to back stab each other to take all the treasure. This mode is a good example why DA! is a cooperative game. Most of the time all the adventurers get knocked out on the first level and a few times we made it to the second level. This came about due to that one player in the group that tends to always play dirty and turn adventurers into evil, greedy versions, mainly my son. So to give him a taste of his own medicine, we all decided to play the same way, and poof, cutthroat mode. Fun and challenging until everyone is knocked out.
