Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters (2002)

About this game

Yu-Gi-Oh! tackles the minis market. Players roll dice that unfold depending on their value, and are placed on the board to create a dungeon path. Minis represent monsters summoned by the players (each with a corresponding stats card), and move through the dungeon, fighting each other, discovering treasure, avoiding traps, and eventually trying to get across the board to attack the opposing player.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
