Dungeon Dice (1977)

About this game

From the box description: ESCAPE... is all you think of when you live in a cold, dark dungeon. But DUNGEON DICE can set you free! The dice are tunneling tools. Shovels - Keys -- Daggers -- Ladders and Lanterns. And, with every roll, you might be one step closer to freedom. You match the dice to earn the tunnel cards that pave the way to your great escape. But passage is perilous! Gruesome guards and fellow prisoners will challenge your getaway. So plan your moves with care. If you're the first to dig out of this dark and dismal dungeon, victory will be yours.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
