About the game

Masmorra: Dungeons of Arcadia is a fast-paced dice-driven dungeon crawl set in the Arcadia Quest universe, where heroes race through three levels of a dungeon filled with monsters, traps, and treasure. Players roll and re-roll a pool of dice to determine their actions each turn, while modular tiles create a unique dungeon layout with every playthrough. Monster encounters are resolved with their own special dice, and cards let opponents disrupt each other's carefully laid plans. The first hero to reach the final level and defeat its challenges becomes the champion of the Realm.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli's team enjoys how Masmorra distills the fun of dungeon-crawling into a quicker, more competitive package than typical cooperative crawlers. The dice-rolling core keeps turns snappy while the modular tiles ensure no two games play out the same way. It works well both as a standalone game and paired with other titles in the Arcadia Quest universe for fans who want to expand their collection. We recommend it for groups who want lighter, faster dungeon-crawling fun with a competitive edge.

What we like

  • Fast dice-driven action keeps turns moving quickly.
  • Modular board ensures a different dungeon layout each play.
  • Compatible with the wider Arcadia Quest universe of games.
  • Supports solo play as well as groups up to five.

Keep in mind

  • Take That elements can create direct conflict some players dislike.
  • Dice-based combat introduces significant luck.
  • Miniature-heavy components add cost and setup time.
