Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Dice rolling — Each round begins with rolling 16 dice to determine available actions or outcomes.
- exit the dungeon after timer — When the timer laps, players exit the dungeon and compare lines to determine outcomes.
- glory-point scoring — Glory points determine the winner; the player with the most glory wins.
- health/mana management — Players spend health and mana to cross monsters; hearts restore health when appropriate portions are crossed.
- labyrinth effect — A labyrinth element in the second round adds walls that may block lines and create new scoring opportunities.
- line drawing on a grid — Players draw lines on their own sheets from an external border across a 4x4 dungeon grid toward an exit.
- line-dice interaction for combat and resources — As lines cross dice, players resolve monsters or replenish health/mana based on what is crossed.
- player elimination — If a player ends a round with no health, they do not gain points for monsters nor loot and effectively drop out of scoring for that round.
- risk of dying — If a player ends a round with no health, they do not gain points for monsters nor loot and effectively drop out of scoring for that round.
- round-based dice rolling — Each round begins with rolling 16 dice to determine available actions or outcomes.
- Square Grid — Players draw lines on their own sheets from an external border across a 4x4 dungeon grid toward an exit.
- timed rounds — Each round is timed between 30 and 60 seconds.
