Game Description

Based on the popular anime Yu-Gi-Oh, Dungeon Dice Monsters is a turn-based board game that involves rolling three dice and selecting different monsters from a deck of cards. As the game progresses, players can position their monsters on an isometric battlefield, where they will eventually engage their rival's opposing forces. After selecting a set of cards to use in battle, players take turns rolling the dice until they reach the specific point total needed to purchase the cards.

Once the number has been reached, players enter a strategy phase where they transform each card into a monster, position it on a grid, and then move it a specific number of spaces until it reaches a rival monster. A battle will then commence between the monsters, with the results dependent on each particular creature's strengths and weaknesses. Over 100 different monsters are included in the game, and players have the option to compete against the computer or a friend.
