About this board game

Dungeon Degenerates: Hand of Doom is a cooperative dark-fantasy adventure game for 1–4 players, with missions lasting from 1–3 hours depending on the scenario.

Take control of escaped criminal adventurers and explore the decaying Eastern Provinces of the Würstreich. This open-world sandbox features four distinct regions, each filled with unique monsters, thematic encounters, and different dangers to overcome.

Every mission presents objectives with varying difficulty and multiple possible approaches. Encounters offer meaningful choices, so you do not have to fight every enemy you meet. Players can form parties, split up, select different routes, and choose their pace as they cooperate—or fend for themselves.

  • Campaign progression: Carry experience and items from previous missions into an epic RPG-style campaign.
  • Open character development: Customize characters by gaining new skills through an open experience system.
  • Rising danger: Threat levels continuously increase across the map while the Hand of Doom moves toward its arrival.
  • Tactical combat: Streamlined battles use standard six-sided dice, with each player rolling only once during their turn.

There is no artificial safe zone in Dungeon Degenerates: even town can be dangerous, and combat always carries risk. Your party must complete its mission before the Hand of Doom descends upon the board and unleashes evil magic across the land.

With more than 100 monsters, each featuring unique abilities and artwork, Dungeon Degenerates: Hand of Doom combines flexible exploration, hazardous travel, and evolving characters in a cohesive dark-fantasy world.
