“Dungeon Mayhem is a great filler for roleplaying night. It's also a solid filler for any other game night where players love to whack one another.”
“The ideal entry-level card game for younger players who want to begin their journey into tabletop gaming, or as an ideal filler, drinking or travel game, Dungeon Mayhem is cheap and small, but it punches well above its weight and size.”
“This gets a high recommendation from me with the understanding that it is a confrontational game. It is not a thinky game. It's not a brain burner. It's simple fun.”(9:51)
“I really enjoyed Dungeon Mayhem. It’s fun, quick, and easy to play and, having tested it on both adults and children, I can say that almost everyone I played with would agree.”
“At $12 to $15, yes, if you want a fast fighting card game for kids or a filler between longer games. Pass if you dislike player elimination or want lasting strategy.”
“But you could say the same of Love Letter and, like that pocket-sized hit, Dungeon Mayhem will go down a storm with the right group willing to not take it too seriously.”
“The game is super easy to teach, with very few components and it’s the perfect game to finish a game night on or bring out in between games.”
