Welcome to the Dungeon

To set up the solo variant of Welcome to the Dungeon, place four heroes along with their specific equipment cards across four separate rows on the table. Shuffle the twelve monster cards and lay them face-down in a four-by-three grid. Finally, take the bottom-right card from the grid and return it to the box without looking at it, leaving the remaining cards ready for the challenge.

The main objective of the solo game is to successfully complete three dungeon runs by defeating all four monsters in each round while ensuring all four heroes survive the ordeal without running out of health points.

During each round, you reveal the first row of four monster cards. You must defeat all of them to proceed. To do this, you can either discard matching equipment from your heroes to bypass the monsters or have heroes take damage by losing health points equal to or greater than the monster's strength. Once a row is cleared, you flip the next row and continue.

Players earn progress toward victory by collecting one success card every time all four heroes successfully survive a full dungeon run of four rows of monsters.

The game ends in victory once you collect three success cards across three successful runs. Conversely, the game ends in defeat immediately if any hero loses all of their health points.
