Update Coming to Popular ‘Dungeon’ Game
Monday, April 21st, 2014
Wizards of the Coast announced they will release an updated version of the classic fantasy board game Dungeon! with new box art to appeal to a new generation of family gamers on June 17th.
The new box is designed to appeal to long time Dungeons & Dragons players, as well as reach a new audience of younger players. The game has gone through several incarnations since it was first released in 1975, and most recently updated in 2012, but the basic game play remains the same. Players take the role of Fighter, Rogue, Cleric, or Wizard, and explore a multi-level dungeon to find treasure. The treasure is guarded by progressively harder monsters the deeper players venture. The goal is to collect enough treasure and be the first to escape the dungeon.
The box contains 8 Hero standees (2 each of Rogues, Clerics, Fighters and Wizards), 165 cards (monster, treasure and spell), 139 tokens (number, lose a turn, defeated, and magic sword), 2 6-sided dice, a game board, and a rule sheet. The game is for 1- 8 players, ages 8 and up.
Interested in this classic board game? Contact us and let us know; buy it in June at your local Battleground Games & Hobbies!

About Geek & Sundry:
Geek & Sundry is an internet community centered around producing entertaining web videos, primarily on YouTube, that focus on comics, games, books, hobbies & more. Their goal is to connect their audience together through common interests both online and in real life.
About Lords of Vegas:
From Boardgamegeek.com: You and your opponents represent powerful developers in a burgeoning Nevada city. You will earn money and prestige by building the biggest and most profitable casinos on “The Strip,” the town’s backbone of dust and sin. You start with nothing but parking lots and dreams, but from there you build, sprawl, reorganize and gamble your way to victory. Score the most points investing in the most profitable development companies and putting the best bosses in control of the richest casinos. Put your dollars on the line . . . it’s time to roll!
The game board is broken into 8 different areas, each consisting of a number of empty ‘lots’. Players build lots by paying money and placing a die of the value matching the one shown on the lot’s space onto the lot, along with a casino tile of one of 7 colors. Adjoining lots of the same color are considered a single casino. The casino’s boss is the player whose die value is higher than any other in the casino. On each players turn, players turn over a new card representing a new lot they get. The card also is one of the casino colors. Any built casinos of the matching color will score both money and VP. Money is earned for each lot in the casino, where each lot may be owned by a different player. VP goes only to the casino’s owner. Players can expand their casinos; try to take over casinos owned by other players; make deals to trade lots, casinos and money; or gamble in opponents’ casinos to make more money. Ultimately, though, only victory points matter, and that means making yourself boss of the biggest casinos.
Lords of Vegas contains:
- Snazzy game board
- 4 turn summaries
- 55 cards
- 40 chips in 4 colors
- 48 dice in 4 colors
- 4 poker chips
- Lots of money
- 45 casino blocks
- Rules
