Dungeon Brawler

About this board game

Dungeon Brawler is a cooperative dungeon crawl for 1–4 players that plays in about 45 minutes, blending deck-building tactics with the fast action of side-scrolling brawler arcade games.

Each player controls a hero and chooses a formation position in the party line-up. Marching order is tactically important, but heroes can rearrange throughout the game as the party responds to the threats ahead.

Every hero follows a theme—chaos, order, harmony, or discipline—and that choice determines a starting deck and influences which future cards can be added. Players are not locked into a single theme, allowing them to combine themes and create new twists on classic fantasy characters.

• Automatically advancing dungeon: When a monster, challenge, or treasure card leaves the dungeon, the remaining cards shift toward the players and the gap refills.
• Rapid card-play combat: Fighting is resolved through unique combinations of cards rather than traditional move-and-attack turns.
• Risky hand management: Your hand is also your lifebar, so playing too aggressively can leave your hero vulnerable.

The dungeon comes at the party in a relentless conveyor belt, creating a fast-paced experience with no need for movement, exploration, or extended downtime. Players must coordinate their heroes, manage their decks, and survive the oncoming waves together.

With its combination of tactical formations, evolving card decks, and automatic dungeon progression, Dungeon Brawler delivers deep decisions at an unusually quick pace. Survive the onslaught as a team to claim victory.
