Mini Dungeon Adventures is a game of actionand adventure set in a fantasy world ofmonsters, magic and mayhem. Each playertakes on the role of a brave hero fighting tosave the realm or the evil dungeon bossseeking to destroy them. The forces of goodand evil clash within the dark confines ofunderground lairs, derelict castles, lost citesand haunted forests.

The game is set up according to a quest book.One player will be the dungeon boss anddecide which quest the heroes will be facing.All other players will take a hero card andcreate a character using the hero generator.Each race and class has different abilities,bonuses and detriments, so choose wisely tocreate a group of heroes that can work welltogether.

Mini Dungeon Adventures is played on a setof tiles that can be altered to represent themyriad locations throughout the quest. Asplayers progress through the game, new tileswill be set up by the dungeon boss withvarious monsters, traps, treasures andsecrets. Each quest is a story that can be toldin many ways depending on the actions ofthe heroes and the random nature of chance.

Each round consists of the hero playersperforming actions until they run out of

(S) points or decide to end the turn.After the hero players’ turn, it is the dungeonboss’s turn. The dungeon boss will then moveand attack with each monster until all speedpoints have been expended. Afterwards, theround ends and a new one begins.

SPEED

When a hero or monster is moving, it takes 1speed point to move up, down, left or right.Diagonal moves are not allowed. Heroes maymove through other spaces containingheroes and monsters can likewise movethrough spaces containing other monsters.Both heroes and monsters must stop movingwhen they enter a space containing anenemy figure. If the enemy figure is defeated,the hero or monster may continue moving. Ifa hero or monster started the round alreadyin the same square as an enemy, they maymove out of that square unhindered.

The following actions cost 1 speed pointeach:-Opening a door or treasure chest. This cannot be done while there is a monster in the space containing it.-Moving an item to or from inventory to equipment or trading/giving items to a hero in the same square.-Using more than 1 potion in a round. The first potion is a free action.

Attacking is done by comparing the attackingfigure’s (A) value, rolling a die,adding the resultant values with any weaponmodifiers and comparing it to the defendingfigure’s (T) value. If the attacksum is higher than the enemy’s toughness,then the enemy will lose 1 health. Up to fourattacks may be attempted per turn.

Melee attacks are made by targeting anenemy model in the same space as the figureattempting the attack. Melee attacks cost 1speed point per attempt unless otherwisenoted.

ATTACK

TOUGHNESS

A D V E N T UR ES

MINI

Ranged attacks are made by targeting anenemy within the figure’s range value printedon their weapon. Ranges are measured in anorthoganal pattern (up and over) and notdiagonally. Ranged attacks cost 2 speedpoints per attempt unless otherwise noted.Ranged attacks must have line of sight to beable to fire. To have line of sight, there canbe no figures (friendly or enemy) betweenthe attacker and the target. Firing through adoorway can only be done from the spacecontaining the door.

Any Attack that rolls a natural 6 counts as acritical hit. Critical hits cause damageregardless of the difference in attack andtoughness values. Damage caused by criticalhits cannot be prevented. A roll of natural 1on an attack is a critical miss. Critical misseswill never cause damage.

Defense actions are performed by heroesand some monsters when an enemy figure isattacking them. In order to perform one ofthese defense actions, a figure must haveenough speed points remaining to completethe action. The different types of defensiveaction are:

- All heroes have this ability. Cost 1speed point for heroes. Small monsters mayuse this ability once per round at no speedcost. Ignores damage from an attack after ithas been made on a roll of 5+.

- Granted by shields. Cost 2 speedpoints to use. Must be announced before theattack roll is made. Ignore one attack. Theattacker still loses any speed pointsassociated with the attack.

DODGE

BLOCK

PARRY

EXPERIENCE POINTS

- Granted to heroes by some meleeweapons. Cost 1 speed point to use. Ignoresdamage from a melee attack after it has beenmade on a roll of 4+

You may attempt as many defense actions asyour speed points allow in a round, but once asave is failed, you cannot attempt anothersave for that particular attack. Some abilitiesor weapons may modify the saving rolls of thepreviously mentioned defense actions.

If a hero drops to 0 health, they becomewounded. Remove the figure from the boardand place it lying prone on the Town card.Wounded heroes may not return to the questor perform town actions. Once the remainingheroes return to town, stand the figure up onthe town card. They may then perform townactions as normal and get back to the questwith the rest of the heroes. If at any point allhero figures are wounded simultaneously,they are defeated and the dungeon boss wins.

At any point in the quest when all monstershave been cleared from an area, the heroesmay elect to return to town either using ateleport scroll or retreating. If a teleport scrollwas used, there is no effect upon returning tothe quest. If the heroes had to retreat, then allfurther monster generator rolls are made at a+1 penalty (this effect is cumulative).

Heroes may level up and gain access to moreabilities granted by their class. Each time ahero slays a monster, keep track of the

(XP) it is worth and addthem to your tally sheet on your class card.Once you reach the required XP cost to gain alevel, reset the counter to zero and increaseyour character’s class level by 1.
