About this board game

Dungeon Rush is a fast-paced dungeon adventure for 2–5 players that plays in about 19 minutes. Players take on the roles of adventurers racing through three perilous levels, defeating monsters, collecting coins, and improving their heroes before confronting the Dungeon Lord and the Dragon.

Each player controls two heroes: one assigned to the right hand and one to the left. In every round, two dungeon cards are revealed simultaneously, and players quickly place their hands on the cards they want their heroes to fight. Winning lets a player claim the card as loot or use it as equipment to increase a hero’s abilities.

Equipment cards are tucked partly beneath a hero card, leaving their ability symbols visible. As equipment is added, each hero develops in four different directions based on these ability types:

  • Melee
  • Ranged
  • Magic
  • Stealth

Some monsters are particularly strong, requiring both heroes to combine their power by striking with both hands. This creates a constant balance between acting quickly, choosing valuable cards, and coordinating your available strength.

Across three levels, each containing three rounds of monsters, your adventurers build their abilities and gather rewards for the final encounters. With simultaneous decisions and a physical rush to claim dungeon cards, Dungeon Rush turns a compact fantasy quest into an energetic test of speed and judgment.
