Description
A notebook. A deck of cards. A dungeon full of trouble.
Grab your favorite pen, pencil, or quill—it’s time to dive into a fast-paced, ever-changing dungeon crawl that fits in your backpack and plays just about anywhere.
In Dungeon Run: Pocket, you’ll battle monsters, dodge traps, and grab treasure while mapping your own path through a randomized dungeon layout. No two runs are ever the same. Choose your moves wisely—when your health hits zero, the goblins haul you out on a stretcher (and they don’t do refunds).
Perfect for solo adventurers and coffee-table crawlers alike.

I've been playing for a few days, and although I've tried to get my wife to play, the language barrier holds her back. Would you be interested in translating the game? I'm a native Spanish speaker. If you'd like me to help you with the Spanish translation, please email me at:

Just to make sure I got it. I need cards (36) which I can get here as PnP or as POD from theGameCrafter. I also need a book of dungeons, again PnP or POD from Amazon. Then if I do all those dungeons I can get an additional book POD from Amazon. Are these dungeons in the PnP? In both cases the POD book is perfect bound unlike the spiral bound book in the pictures.
Do I understand?
The Amazon book have the same dungeons as the free PnP for the base game. The Mega Maps on Amazon have an additional 90 (only 10 in the PnP).
The Amazon is perfect bound. The spiral bound is a personal copy / creation of mine.
Congrats on getting this listed on BGG!
Just a thought for organization:
use a "bracket" on the open side (in book form) of the page to vertically sort the monsters, bracket should match card size for alignment...
lvl 1 [ [ goblin ]
lvl 2 [ [rock monster]
lvl 3 [ [ zombie ]
lvl 4 [ [ dragon ]
hope that makes sense...
Oh yeah, that does make sense! I can definitely see that if the book were bigger. At A6 it's quite small at the moment.
I love the art !! The game looks very interesting !
