Assemble your party, choosing from a range of themed characters like the spicy Fired Up Rat or the goopy Slime Cube, and dive into the treacherous dungeon. With strategic dice battles and clever use of items, players must defeat a series of monsters while ensuring at least one party member remains standing to savor the victory feast of pancakes.

GOAL

Defeat the last Monster with at least one Party Member still conscious. Someone needs to be awake to eat those pancakes after all.
