Dungeon Academy

Players explore four separate 4x4 dice dungeons over four rounds, drawing a continuous orthogonal path through a grid of sixteen rolled dice that represent red and blue monsters (small or large), potions, and strength. Each player has a character sheet showing life, mana and a special power; life and mana are spent to defeat monsters and are tracked between rounds. After everyone records a path, the route is resolved step-by-step to apply damage, collect potions/strength, and score defeated monsters. Players also claim numbered turn-order cards, pick diminishing quests for bonus points, and draft treasures that grant points and abilities. Later rounds introduce a directional labyrinth die and a final boss die before final scoring.
