Cause Some Dungeon Mayhem In New D&D Card Game

September 7, 2018 by cassn

Who doesn't like a good old dungeon brawl? Wizards of the Coast have announced they are releasing a new D&D card game, and we can't wait.

Play as one of four brave, quirky characters—Barbarian, Paladin, Rogue, or Wizard—battling it out in a dungeon full of treasure! With magic missiles flinging, dual daggers slinging, and spiked shields dinging, it's up to you to prove your adventurer has the guts to bring home the glory!

Dungeon Mayhem is a simple-to-learn card fighting game. There are currently four decks, one for each class, but I can easily see Wizards of the Coast adding expansions to this deck in the future for extra weapons, spells, armour, and classes.

Illustrations created by Kyle Ferrin in the four decks of cards represent Sutha the Skullcrusher (barbarian), Azzan the Mystic (wizard), Lia the Radiant (paladin), and Oriax the Clever (rogue). Pick one of these characters and play their mighty power cards such as Azzan’s Vampiric Touch to swap hit points with an opponent or Sutha’s Whirling Axes to heal yourself while dealing crushing damage to the rest of the party.

I love the art design on this - it has a quirky, cartoonish quality that really makes it stand out as a deck. The games are relatively short, roughly 15 minutes a match, and the rules are easy to learn and play. It isn't going to satisfy those gamers craving a campaign, but it's something fun to fill those little moments in the day. I can see this having mass gaming appeal when it is officially released on 16th November.

Who would win in a fight, wizard or barbarian?
