Dungeons & Dragons: Bedlam in Neverwinter (2023)

About this game

Join a group of fellow adventurers investigating a series of alarming disappearances in Icewind Dale in this single-play D&D escape board game for 2-6 players. This harrowing 3-part adventure can be broken into 3 game sessions or played in 1 heroic sitting. Begin by creating your character. Then explore a humble tavern, fight in epic battles against iconic D&D monsters, and embark on a wild chase through the Underdark on the tail of an evil mage and his dangerous cult to unravel the mystery of their dastardly plans. The only way to find the missing people and escape the obstacles is to explore rooms, complete puzzles, and gather clues to solve the mystery at the end of each act.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
