Dungeon Rummy (2025)

About this game

Dungeon Rummy is the first game set in the Misfits Universe. Four reckless (and not-so-great) heroes have decided to throw themselves against (not so) fearsome foes in search of the greatest reward there is: bragging rights at the local pub. Each player has their own deck of 26 cards modeled after a traditional deck, with a few twists: instead of Clubs, Hearts, Diamonds and Spades, your four suits will be Tank, Damage Dealer, Support, and Healer. Also, some cards feature Mana symbols, which will allow the playable characters to execute their special actions. During the monster phase — which happens first, because the heroes are really not that great — they will inflict damage on the heroes. Create combinations of cards to fight back, doing damage and generating Mana. But remember, cards of the same suit can never be side by side! If a hero is knocked out, the game ends in a loss. If they defeat the boss, they win! —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. No complexity score has been recorded for this one.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
