Overview

In Dungeon Lords, you take on the role of an aspiring Dungeon Lord, carving out a lair in the depths of the earth. Each round, you secretly plan your actions by assigning your imps to various tasks, trying to anticipate the moves of your opponents. Will you focus on mining gold, digging tunnels, or attracting monsters to defend your dungeon?

The core of the game lies in the simultaneous action selection. After planning, actions are revealed, and chaos often ensues as players vie for the same resources and spaces. Manage your hand of tunnel tiles carefully, defend against pesky adventurers, and strive to become the most fearsome Dungeon Lord by the end of the game.
