One additional feature among the drawing icons are Improvements. There is a stencil provided for the artistically uncomfortable, but there’s something to be said for ugliness in a dungeon. Along that path, in cleverly crafted rooms, nooks, and crannies, players must hide their treasures underneath hideously drawn monsters on a second secret slip of paper in hopes that the hero will walk on by or pick a fight elsewhere. The aim is to create a path so perilous that the hero will die from repeated exposure to spiky teeth and spiky spikes. The only real rules are: 1) There must be a clean path through the dungeon without any impassable secret rooms-this isn’t Harry Potter-and 2) Traps and monsters alike may not be orthogonally adjacent to one another. The beautiful challenge of the drawing phase is creating a working dungeon, from scratch, with no idea what features will be tossed your way, or in what order.

Players receive a full sheet of paper featuring a dungeon grid-prime real estate for a death trap-and a pencil. Phase one gives each Dungeon Master a blank slate on which to create the dank nightmare of their dreams. So sharpen your pencils as weapons-but just this one time, OK, because pencils can be dangerous-and head for the dungeon! I didn’t go to dungeon architecture school for nothin’ Only one outcome scores true victory in this creative battle: a slain hero. Players take up the role of Dungeon Masters who will create a dungeon to fill with monsters and treasures before welcoming an unsuspecting hero into the chaos for a fight.

Doodle Dungeon could be described as a draft-and-draw dungeon workshop from Pegasus Spiele and the design mind of Ulrich Blum ( Minecraft: Builders & Biomes).
