In the end I have passed on this one. The rules seem too simplistic, and the items too boring. If I want some dungeon crawler fun, I prefer to wait a bit and find time for a 'real' one, more fleshed out. But it still looks nice and I am very happy to see it so successful.

Stimpy, will you back it?

i'm not sure what I should do, there are way too many interesting kickstarters going on right now.

Tina, you are so right about there being too many interesting KS Campaigns goin' on right now (and most of the time, too). I won't back it only because I'm trying to curb my "back everything that seems cool" weakness by not backing any multi-player games, and just stick to 1 or 1-2 Players (with a few 2-Player exceptions). It's a semi-lame 'rule', but it has been helping quite a bit. Plus, I already have too many games. 🙂 However, had this been campaigning a while back, I probably would have. It has bags, which I like. It's not described as a bag-builder, but if it is, that would be another plus, as I really like that mechanism. But maybe you're just gettin' stuff out of a bag, instead of drawing from a stack, although I do prefer the bag to the stack. I like the look of the tiles quite a bit more than the original. Also, it's being touted as an 'easier' game, which always works for me. 🙂

I think we all have too many games 😫

And I am getting old and don't want to read anymore rulebooks with 30 + pages. So, an easy game is very welcome.

I did mention it in the comments of a Watch Your Back post! But I'm not against a bit more visibility.

(And if I don't cancel it, it also happens to be my only back so far for a campaign that ends in August.)

I am not too sure about it, honestly. An easy-going, portable dungeon crawler sounds appealing, but these games have a hard time striking the good balance between rules minimalism and good mechanics. They too often boil down with basic "roll to beat value" combat and items that give you +1 to your die roll.

Arrgghh! 😡 Sorry, Z! I searched for "bag" (way too many hits with 'of' and 'dungeon' added) and did not see "bag of dungeon".

No worry, I myself thought of writing such a short post in the lounge to compensate it being relegated in the comments, but didn't find the will nor the energy, so, thank you!
