Time to enter a dungeon — a dungeon composed of dice! — to kill monsters & score as much as possible In Dungeon Academy each player has a piece of paper that shows four dungeons with each dungeon being a 4x 4 grid The game lasts four rounds & in each round you will go through one of these dungeons Each player also has a character card that shows some amount of life (red) & mana (blue) along with a special power What&s actually in a dungeon is determined by dice that you roll at the start of the round You roll sixteen dice then let them settle in a 4x 4 grid The dice show red & blue monsters in both small & large sizes as well as blue potions & red strength You decide where to enter the dice dungeon & which dice to pass through in a continuous line that can change directions only orthogonally & you draw this corresponding line on your personal grid until you exit at some other point of the dungeon without crossing over your line You then claim the lowest available number card with the number of cards matching the number of players Once everyone has finished drawing a line through the dungeon you trace out that path step by step removing life (1 or 2) to defeat red monsters (small or large) & mana (1 or 2) to defeat blue monsters (small or large) You place new tokens on your character as you pass through potions & strength spaces Once you&re through the grid you score points for the monsters you defeated & you choose one of four quests on your sheet for bonus points (In the second round you choose one of the three remaining quests so your choices diminish over time) In player order based on your number card you take one of the available treasures which provide points & powers Your life & mana levels carry over into the next round In the second & third rounds you replace one of the dice with a labyrinth die that can be passed through only in certain directions & in the fourth round another die is replaced with the big boss die giving you something giant to take on before ending the game & tallying your final score Players 1-6 Playing time 20 mins Ages 10
