Hey everybody, it's your old pal Rob. Today, we are going to talk about three games, just three. Just three. That's it. These are the best three that I feel that are quick dungeon crawls that you can you can play in under an hour or so and get that dungeon crawl experience. And these are my top three because I think the rest of them are very good, but these very stick to me and I'll tell you why as I introduce each one. At number three is The Book of Dungeons.

Okay? Uh a a a real masterpiece. Now, you may be thinking, well, how how come you don't include uh Four Against Darkness or, you know, which is a book game, or, you know, some of the other games. These are individual little dungeons that you're going to go through, okay? There are a hundred of them in this book. You can make copies of them, you can replay them because each time the experience is kind of different. You have different characters that you can go down with. And it takes uh take about 10 to 30 minutes. And where those other games take a long time and I consider them major investments because they are true dungeon crawls uh in a book that well, you know, I want to get my graph paper out, I want to get all this stuff. All I have to do is make a copy of one of these pages and just pull anyone out, okay? Make a copy of this and I can sit there with Paradise and have a blast and I will have a blast. The this I I hope they do another 100 because I really feel that this book of Dungeons is number one under the radar. Number two, I don't think it gets the love it should, but number three, it is fun, quick, efficient and a blast to play and I really love what they did with this.

At number two is a game that from a company that that kind of yeah, I'll be honest with you. They kind of get all the the the the tiny things done to perfection. And that is, my dear friends, Tiny Epic Dungeons. This it surprised me in how detailed it was, how good it is. It's not hard to get it set up. It says on here at least that it's anywhere from you know, 30 to boy, my eyes are bad. About 30 to 60 minutes. You can play with one to four players, but I'd rather play by myself. And you know, for the size and everything that is in here, there is a lot going on. A lot going on and a lot of depth and I really, really think that this is one of the best small box dungeon crawls out there today. It gets everything done. It scratches every itch and it just does a fantastic job. It you know, there's bosses, there's different boss mats, there's there's eight heroes that you can play with.

You know, a lot of detail in in the wooden pieces and monster tokens, uh dice chucking, dungeon cards, everything that you could with a ton of re-playability. And this really does a fantastic, wonderful job. And I really, highly, highly, highly suggest it. Um that's Tiny Epic Dungeons. If you haven't gotten your hands on it, go find a copy while it's still available. But the one that I think is probably the best. And there've been a couple versions of it, and there's been some expansions to it, but all in all, it is a game that I think is the one of the it it if if if if not the best small, quick dungeon uh uh uh dungeon crawls that you will enjoy, have a blast, and is constantly, constantly never the same game. And that is Bag of Dungeons. Uh there is a Bag of Dungeons 2, um but Gunpowder Studios got this right. Um you can play it solo, you can play it cooperatively.

Um and trying to build up to fight that dragon is near impossible. But when you get a chance, you've got to make sure everything goes right. And I think you lose more than you win on this one. But Bag of Dungeons does everything right, because you just never know what you're pulling out of that bag. And you know, getting you know, finding different different weapons, finding different um you know, spells, uh trying to enhance your character, trying to defeat some of the the the the villains. You know, sometimes you run into a goblin, which is one dice plus one. Oh, piece of cake. You know, trying to level up and get yourself better.

This is quick. Uh what what do they have it rated for? Let me see. Uh 20 to 60 minutes. And usually, to be honest with you, it's about 35 minutes. But the enjoyment and everything that you get out of it, you'll get out of a big dungeon crawl. And if you don't have time to set up these massive massive games because some of these are massive and really time-consuming and are going to eat up a lot of your time, these are the games that are going to be quick, fun, and scratch all those itches that you want. And I left it the three. There are There's a lot of good ones out there, but these three are my go-tos. These three are the ones that I really hit up when I want to play something quick and tremendous tremendous experiences, a lot of highs, a lot of lows, and that's what you want from a game. A game that challenges you, one that isn't you're not going to steamroll steamroll over and go, "Oh, wow, I did that in 20 minutes."

No. You want something that's going to push you to the limits, and Bag of Dungeon's does that and does that as good as any game out there, along with the other two, Tiny Epic Dungeon's and Book of Dungeon's. Go search these. Go to Gunpowder Studios. Go to Gwendolyn Games. And and and pick up some of the best dungeon crawls in the business. Until next time, it's your old pal Rob. We'll see you soon, everybody. And thanks for watching the video.
