Wakening Lair

About this board game

Wakening Lair is a fully cooperative dungeon delve for 2–6 players, with games lasting about 40 minutes. Each player takes on the role of a heroic adventurer exploring a long-silent lair where an ancient evil is beginning to stir.

Choose from nine character classes, each with unique abilities to help the party defeat its enemies. Double-sided hero cards offer male and female versions of every class, providing 18 heroes to choose from as you assemble your team.

Players take turns exploring rooms, confronting monsters, disarming traps, and collecting weapons and magical items. Six different room types can provide an attack bonus when a hero’s character type matches the room advantage, while weapons have character preferences that can increase attack power when equipped by the right adventurer.

• Work together to overcome monsters with different attack vulnerabilities and immunities.
• Use magical items for rerolls, healing, and other boosts for yourself or your party.
• Face a variety of monsters and nine different monstrous terrors.
• Experience a changing narrative through randomized boss monster awakening.

Every decision helps prepare the group for the lair’s greatest threat. When the slumbering monstrous terror awakens, the entire party must combine its abilities and equipment to stop it from escaping and destroying the land.

With its cooperative play, varied heroes, changing boss awakening, and tactical equipment choices, Wakening Lair challenges the whole group to find the best-suited adventurers for every dangerous encounter.
