About this expansion

Munchkin Dungeon: Side Quest is a 2020 expansion for 2–5 players that adds open Side Quests to the dungeon adventure.

With this expansion in play, a number of Side Quests become available. Completing them requires Heroes to pursue unusual objectives that they would not normally choose to fulfill. The challenges can be awkward, risky, or simply inconvenient—but they offer a valuable reason to take them on.

Examples include “Be defeated” and “Defeat a Roaming Monster without using rerolls.” These objectives encourage players to approach the dungeon in unexpected ways, turning setbacks and self-imposed restrictions into potential opportunities.

The key reward for completing a Side Quest is a Level. That makes every available quest a tempting target, even when its requirement seems contrary to your usual plans. A challenge that looks annoying at first may become worthwhile when gaining a Level is at stake.

Side Quests are also open information. Other Heroes can see which objectives are available and may have their eyes on the same rewards. This creates competition around the quests without hiding the goals from the table.

  • Open a number of Side Quests during the game.
  • Complete unusual challenges, including being defeated or avoiding rerolls against a Roaming Monster.
  • Gain Levels by completing the available objectives.
  • Compete openly with other Heroes for desirable quests.

Munchkin Dungeon: Side Quest adds a new layer of visible objectives to the dungeon, rewarding players who are willing to embrace strange assignments and race other Heroes to complete them.
