We also streamlined the way that the Consul plays a bit. This means that, no matter what the Heroes do, the Consul is coming for them, and they had better gear up and get ready! The visual of the Dungeon Boss creeping along the chart is also an ominous view as the Heroes rush to gather treasure and take out those spawning points!

The dice are unchanged, so your Heroes and monsters are still looking to roll those hearts, stars, and potions. At its heart, Super Dungeon: Explore is still a game of dungeon diving, monster slaying, boss destroying fun.
