D&D: Wrath of Ashardalon
D&D: Wrath of Ashardalon
A heavy shadow falls across the land, cast by a dark spire that belches smoke and oozes fiery lava. A cave mouth leads to a maze of tunnels and chambers, and deep within this monster-infested labyrinth lurks the most terrifying creature of all: a red dragon! In Wrath of Ashardalon, you play a heroic adventurer. With magic weapons and amazing spells, you must explore the dungeons beneath the volcano where you will fight monsters, overcome hazards, find treasure, and eventually face the red dragon – Ashardalon! Are you ready for adventure?
- Designed for 1–5 players, this boardgame features multiple scenarios, challenging quests, and cooperative game play.
- Each player selects a hero; a rogue, thief, warrior, cleric, or wizard.
- On their turn, each player can explore further into the dungeon (turn over new tiles), move through the already explored parts of the dungeon, and fight monsters. When a new dungeon tile is revealed, there is typically an encounter of some sort, and new monsters to fight are added.
- Slain monsters reward the players with treasure, and experience points, allowing them to level up and increase their skills during play.
- Players must cooperate to stay alive, slay the monsters, and achieve the goal of their quest.
- Each scenario has a different goal - from retrieving a relic, to slaying a vampire lord.
