Dungeon Command Blood of Gruumsh releases today

 D&D, Wizards of the Coast  Comments Off on Dungeon Command Blood of Gruumsh releases today
Feb 192013
 

 Get ready to send the Orcs to war, because the newest Dungeon Command faction pack, Dungeon Command: Blood of Gruumsh, releases today!  Designed for two to four players, Dungeon Command is a head-to-head skirmish game that features themed miniature factions designed to play as unified war bands in a game that eliminates luck-driven mechanics in favor of player-driven skill, creativity and quick thinking. Blood of Gruumsh includes such monstrous miniatures as the orc archer, barbarian, chieftain, and the orc cleric of Gruumsh!!

 

 

Each Dungeon Command faction comes in its own box containing 12 pre-painted plastic miniatures (plus the cards, tiles and rules for the game). In addition to their use in Dungeon Command, these miniatures can also be used in the Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game, with their cards further usable with D&D Adventure System board games (The Legend of Drizzt, Castle Ravenloft and Wrath of Ashardalon). While each faction is meant to be played by a single player, quick-start rules allow two players to engage in a shortened version of the game using only one box.

 

The MSRP for Blood of Gruumsh is $39.99, and additional information can be found at DungeonsandDragons.com.

Watch as Matt delves into Dungeon from Wizards of the Coast.

 

Dungeon is not what I was expecting.  I was expecting a game that leaned more towards an RPG feel.  But  after I got over my expectations and played the game for what it is; a board game.  I thoroughly enjoy Dungeon.  The game is simple enough that an eight year old can grasp the concepts While an adult can seek more tactical challenges.

The concept of the game is to gather treasure.  Each player assumes the role of a character; Rogue, Cleric, Fighter, or Wizard.  Each Class has a set amount of treasure they need to gather and then get out of the dungeon.  Combat is pretty simple you roll two dice and compare the roll to the number you need to beat on the monsters card.  The greater the challenge the greater the reward.   The rules suggest appropriate threat levels for  the classes.  To be blunt Rogues are wimps so they fight low level monsters.

All in all the game turned out to be pretty good even though I expected something else.  You can play Dungeon with 4 player  a couple of times in an evening fairly easily.
