This is a game that has already become an old reliable during game events; Five Minute Dungeon is something I pull out whenever I want a game night to become loud and filled with laughs.

Minute Dungeon is a chaotic, co-­operative, real-­time card game in which players have only five minutes to escape the randomized dungeon. But to reach him, your party will first have to deal with the 20 Door Cards in your way, each representing a new challenge you must face.You’re playing cards, talking to each other, figuring out the best abilities to use, and flipping dungeon cards at a super-fast pace. The expansion adds Boss Cards to the Dungeon, two new heroes (Druid and Shaman), and powerful Artifacts that can be activated once per dungeon to help the party. Communication and teamwork are critical to survival because there’s no time to form a carefully considered plan — and no predicting what dangers lie ahead. At least one person you know has a horror story of playing a Monopoly game while growing up that took 8 hours.

When you defeat a boss, you can then increase the difficulty by attempting to take down the next boss. Communication and teamwork are critical to survival because there’s no time to form a carefully considered plan — and no predicting what dangers lie ahead. Minute Dungeon works as a quick (but not really 5-minute) appetizer, but it's not my preferred taste.The color of your hero will tell you which color/icon type you’ll specialize in, and you’ll have some unique action cards. Disclaimer – This game will raise the noise level and be prepared for cards been thrown here there any everywhere! You cannot go wrong if you’re a serious gamer or looking to get people into the hobby this game is a must!

This is a game that is infectious with its enthusiasm, and has a feel that is very, very different than most board games in my collection. Everyone understands how to match icons on cards, and the rest of the game is just reading what’s on the event and action cards. It means there’s more to the game than just five minutes, while letting players enjoy a feeling of success even if failure finally does crash down around you. All I can say from personal experience is good luck and remember leave your sanity at the first door! You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.The timer starts and the madness begins, you turn each card one after another until you meet the boss of each round. This isn’t a joke: to play, you pull out a timer, set it to five minutes, and when you draw the first card off the dungeon deck, you hit go.
