About this board game

Monster Eater: A Delicious in Dungeon Board Game is a 2022 adventure card game for 2–5 players, with a play time of about 45 minutes. Players challenge the labyrinth of the mad sorcerer while pursuing various objectives.

Based on Ginichiro Suzuki’s card game Monster Maker and the world of Ryoko Kui’s Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon), the game brings the comic’s distinctive blend of dungeon exploration and monster cuisine to the table. It was created by Seiji Kanai, designer of numerous hit titles.

Use your adventurer party’s abilities to advance through the labyrinth. Players can also send monsters to opponents who are progressing too well, adding an interactive edge to each expedition.

  • Cook defeated monsters, while managing severe food procurement.
  • Encounter monsters that are weak but profitable when cooked, alongside powerful creatures that cannot be cooked.
  • Discover the labyrinth’s mysterious effects and items as the adventure unfolds.

Monster selection can create unusual decisions: depending on the creature, you may prefer to have it appear in your own labyrinth rather than face a monster that offers no culinary benefit. The many monster types, effects, and items add variety while staying true to the source material.

Fans of the original Dungeon Meshi manga will recognize plenty to enjoy, while players looking for an interactive labyrinth adventure can explore its monster-filled challenges through a compact card-game format.
