Game Setup

1. Dungeon Cards: Place cards with "life 4" faced up in the center of the table. This means the maximum life of each player becomes 4.
2. Sponge Pawns and Life Cards: Take 1 sponge pawn and 1 life card. Indicate your remaining life by the direction or the face of the life card. Set your life to 4.
3. Exploration Cards: Remove traps, thieves, potions and unicorns. Return the removed cards to the box. Shuffle all other cards. Deal 7 cards to each player. Place dealt cards face down in front of you as your deck.
4. Determination of the Start Player: The player who dealt the cards becomes the start player. Discard pile will be created next to the start player. Once set up, proceed to "Game Start".

Game Start

1. Time to Explore!
   1. Each player places a top card of their deck face down near the dungeon card.
   2. Simultaneously flip them face up with the chant "123!". If there are no cards left in the deck, proceed to "End of Game."
2. Throw the Adventurer (Sponge Pawn)! Quickly throw your adventurer onto the revealed exploration card you want to get. Your adventurer cannot be placed onto the card you just revealed.
3. Get the Exploration Cards!
   1. Successful Exploration: If your adventurer lands on an exploration card and its color matches the exploration card's color (light/dark), your adventurer succeeded in the exploration! If it succeeds, you acquire that exploration card. If several adventurers are placed onto the same exploration card, proceed to "(3) Judgment."
   2. Failed Exploration:
      • A: The adventurer doesn't land on the card.
      • B: The color of the adventurer doesn't match the exploration card's color.
      • C: Judged as the failed exploration. Lose 1 life.
      • If your life reaches to 0: If possible, discard one acquired exploration card and heal to your maximum life.
   3. Judgment:
      • A: Overlapping adventurers. All adventurers except the bottom one fail the exploration.
      • B: The adventurer who has occupied the largest area of the exploration card succeeds, while others fail.
      • C: If several adventurers occupied the almost equal area of the card. Those adventurers fail the exploration.

Game End

1. Scoring!
   1. Count the points indicated on acquired exploration cards.
   2. Count bonus points based on combinations of exploration cards (refer to Dungeon Cards).
   3. Sum up (1) and (2).
2. The player with the highest score wins!
   1. In case of a tie, the player who got more exploration cards wins.
   2. If the number of the acquired cards is also tied, both players win.

Scoring example (figure 13 of the rulebook): the printed points on the acquired cards are 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 5 (group 1), and the bonus points from combinations are 2 + 2 + 6 + 7 + 12 = 29 (group 2), for a total of 34.

Dungeon Cards

The Dungeon Cards are the variant dungeons.

1. Various Additional Dungeons
   1. You can create various dungeons by combining the exploration cards (variant rules).
   2. The game rounds can change from 7 to 11 depending on the rules you apply.
2. Types of Additional Dungeons
   1. "Dungeon Entrance": Beginner (figure 14) / Advanced (figure 15).
   2. "Dungeon Depths": Beginner: Unicorn (figure 16) / Potion (figure 17) / Thief (figure 18). Advanced: Unicorn x Potion (figure 19) / Unicorn x Thief (figure 20) / Potion x Thief (figure 21). Boss Battle: Goblin King (figure 22) / Elder Dragon (figure 23).
   3. Presence of "Traps"
3. Contents of Additional Dungeons
   1. "Dungeon Entrance"
      1. This dungeon can be played independently with 7 rounds.
      2. Additional Rules for Game Setup: Place the chosen "Dungeon Entrance" in the center of the table.
      3. Additional Rules: For Beginners' game, maximum life is 4. For Advanced players' game, maximum life becomes 2 and bonus points are applied. Follow this rule to set the initial life of each player during Game Setup.
      4. Bonus scoring table printed on the "Dungeon Entrance" cards (figures 14 and 15, and figure 13 for the scoring example). Beginner (figure 14): diamond = 2 (A); chest + key = 12 (B); red + yellow + blue = 6 (C); goblins (D): 1 goblin = 2, 2 = 4, 3 = 7, 4 = 11, 5 = 16, 6 or more = 22. Advanced (figure 15): diamond = 3 (A); chest + key = 18 (B); red + yellow + blue = 9 (C); goblins (D): 1 goblin = 3, 2 = 6, 3 = 11, 4 = 17, 5 = 24, 6 or more = 33.
