This "can be" played by itself... im not disputing that. This game has a lot more strong monsters, more devastating tiles, traps,and obstacles than BOD. It also has strong items, causing it to make RNG have an exaggerated effect on a precarious situation. If you dont get a good item quick or you draw a stong monster on your litteral 1st tile, you will probably lose. That's fine, that's fun. But if you use BOD2 in correlation with BOD you will see it is truly an expansion that "can be" but shouldn't be played on its own. This game is amazing! Very well imagined, and executed. Printed on sturdy thick cardstock and punched with precision accuracy, these pieces look great. The wooden dice, not so much. Cheap and a couple aren't stamped in the center. They work, but I use different d6's. I HAVE A COUPLE ISSUES... the rules could have been expressed better by adding only a few more pages, expanding on explanations. Luckily some people on YouTube, including the game designer have made videos trying to show how to play. The problem is that even these videos have some mistakes in them, such as forgetting that rolling doubles is a critical role for an adventurer. Even the videos I saw with the creator didn't cover things such as how ranged attacks are intended to occur. I purchased both bod and bod2 . Both rule booklets are at times ambiguous. I surprisingly enjoy and hate this because it then lays the rule interpretation at the feet of the players. Literally reading the rule in a certain way or not paying mind to just one single word can drastically change the understanding of the rule. After a fun, but seemingly "off" playthrough I decided I would try to figure out what went wrong. Now I can say that with proper understanding of the rules and setup, it is one the most fun and entertaining board games in a very large collection!

Bag of Dungeon 2 as a standalone game is great, and just like Bag of Dungeon 1 it has an easy setup and is quick to pickup and learn, meaning you’d be able to unpack the game, and begin playing right on the spot! Bag of Dungeon 2 offers a cooperative and solo experience that are both equally as fun and challenging as each other! It’s has a small box, which means it’s very portable and easy to move around, but don’t let the small box get to you, since just like Bag of Dungeon 1, Bag of Dungeon 2 as a game takes up my whole desktop.Each new game you play will be different from the last, because each tile is randomly generated, the pace at which you complete each dungeon varies towards what challenges you’re faced with and how you approach them, depending on what gear you use to your advantage, and where you find yourself using it. You will be able to build strategies but the game is so unpredictable you could play it for hours and still be surprised. Each character card has their strengths and weaknesses, and work well together. The whole game works brilliantly together, and that’s before you start to play Bag of Dungeon 1 with Bag of Dungeon 2’s built in seamless transitions through rules and tiles. 100% worth my time and moneyAnd I hope this review helps in any way!!Thank you for your time.

Fun! Slightly different spin on a dungeon crawler. Quick play, lots of fun.

Had a good time playing this game, it starts off slowly but by the end it really feels like you're in a boss battle. It's easy to understand, the rules are clear with immersive artwork and an interesting story.Originally I was missing a piece, but the company were quick to respond to my communication and did their best to replace it. (Thanks Tim!)In short, it's a really fun game in a compact box, from a UK company, so pretty great. Looking forward to getting the first game and the expansions soon!

Bought this for my son who wanted to try an RPG game. I did research and landed on this one. I was not wrong in my choice. It is a great game, so simple to learn without being too simple. It takes very little to get into it. It doesnt require a college degree to play and all you need is around an hour and half to play. All 3 of my kids are into as am I. Great opportunity for me to spend time with them. We also got the second version of this series and it is alot of fun too. It was worth my money and I look forward to a 3rd installment. Hats of to the crew at Gunpowder Studios for concocting this one.
