Welcome to the Super Dungeon Wiki
Super Dungeon Explore is the world's first chibi anime strategy battle game started in 2011 from Soda Pop Miniatures! Go head-to-head with your party of brave adventurers, or play as the dungeons evil master summoning hordes of minions to battle over who will rule the world of Crystalia.
Super Dungeon Explore and Super Dungeon Explore: Forgotten King core game boxes both come with over 50 finely crafted Soda Pop miniatures, full rules, cards, dice, and Dungeon Tiles to start playing your games of Super Dungeon Explore!
The game has five complete game-modes:
Explore (Classic) adventurously with a game master(Dark Consul) controlling the monsters.
Arcade, allows you to play cooperatively as the Heroes against an automated dungeon.
WoSDEC, is the Official Homebrew based on Arcade but more of an RPG with rules for Guilds crafting and village interaction
PVP Arena, where two players each take control of a mighty warband consisting of one Hero, one mini-boss, two spawning points, and the spawning points’ associated monsters. These warbands then do battle against one another in a challenge known as a scenario. Each scenario has its own unique rules and victory conditions, which require a warband to use its abilities and strengths in new and clever ways.
Conquest, is a fantasy skirmish system designed for use with your collection of Super Dungeon miniatures. Conquest is designed to be a living rules system. As a living rules system, Super Dungeon: Conquest will grow with your feedback. We encourage you to report your games using the feedback form to help us improve the game and make suggestions. Conquest is taking the place of PVP Arena and Ninja All-Stars
And Legends, a campaign and roleplaying expansion for Super Dungeon. Where heroes brave a series of adventures as part of an overall narrative campaign.
This game is not for unsupervised kids, though. The miniatures in Super Dungeon Explore 1st Edition and Masterclass Miniatures require assembly with superglue and contain small parts. (the other expansions are pre-assembled)
Painting, though completely optional, should be done with the care and precision of aspiring artists, and the game can involve an entertaining level of strategy comparable with other tabletop games like Arkham Horror or Pandemic. For this reason it carries warnings indicating it should be for players ages 13 and up.
Super Dungeon: Explore currently has 3 versions.
Super Dungeon Explore 1st Edition, Super Dungeon: Explore: Forgotten King, & Super Dungeon Explore: 2nd Edition where there is information for more than one version of a loot or treasure card, it will be displayed on the same page for your convenience. Also Ability and Action pages will display Explore(Classic) & Arcade Mode if effects or abilities differ from one game mode to the other. Some Abilities and Action have names too cool not to use twice so some pages are separated into sections when needed.
Hero & Monster cards are linked to their different versions at the bottom in "Alternate Profile". Some have information about their differences in the Gameplay section. Some different versions are for Alternative Art, Elemental changes, or Crossover design reasons not just different versions of Super Dungeon. along with linking the Hero Cards of a models to the Mini-boss cards. And of course at the bottom is "Available Through" which will tell you where the cards on the page you are looking at can be found.
Ninja All-Stars, Rail Raiders Infinite, & Relic Knights along with some spin off games are games unto themselves but instead of creating another Fandom page for a game that is no longer being published or has little information, it's information will be integrated into Super Dungeon Explore Fandom just as the game pieces have. Look for the (NAS) (RK) or (RRI) in the pages name.
Introduction
Super Dungeon Explore combines elements from Pencil & Paper role-playing (RPG) games, video games and traditional board games to create a unique tabletop gaming experience. In this game, a group of heroes work together against the Consul, ultimately culminating in a super-boss battle to clear the dungeon.
The best introduction of all is to read the manual included with the game (The newest version is available online,here) but the basics can be summarized as follows.
A minimum of two players begin, with one player choosing to be the Consul (the controller of the monsters) and any number of players controlling any number of heroes up to 5 (keep in mind more heroes leads to longer games as the Consul's power scales with the number of heroes). A single player could control all the heroes, so don't limit yourself to thinking you need a big group to enjoy the larger games.
Depending on the number of heroes the game will scale (2, 3, or 5 heroes are the set game sizes) with dungeon tile, a spawning point, and a treasure chest corresponding to each hero. At 3 heroes the Boss rules are in effect, and at 5 heroes up to 5 Mini-Bosses can be played by the Consul. Game play is turn based with each hero "activating" between up to 4 monsters (larger monsters can take up to an entire turn to activate while smaller ones can split a turn in to 4 -- potentially 8 -- activations).
The Heroes objective grows from destroying spawning points, to destroying Mini-Bosses to eventually destroying the Boss. The Consul's objective is always the same:KILL ALL HEROES! No matter what your preference, both sides are well balanced for the task and internal pacing from the loot drops and the Power-Up phase keeps each side in check.
