Overview

Dungeon Petz puts you in the role of young goblin entrepreneurs, tasked with raising adorable (but often monstrous) petz for demanding dungeon lords. Each round, you and your opponents simultaneously bid on actions using your goblin families. Winning these auctions allows you to acquire new petz, build cages, find food, and most importantly, show off your petz at exhibitions to earn reputation.

However, raising these creatures is no easy feat. Petz have needs and temperaments that must be managed. Neglecting them will lead to unhappy, destructive behavior, causing chaos in your dungeon and potentially scaring away valuable customers. Careful planning, resource management, and a bit of luck are essential to becoming the most successful petz breeder in the underworld.
