Dungeon!
This is the fantastic board game that is an ancestor of Dungeons & Dragons. Designed by Dave Megarry, this game represents Dungeons & Dragons in its purest form – the dungeon delve!
Dave took part in playing fantasy adventures in Dave Arneson’s original Blackmoor, a game that incorporated much of the Fantasy Supplement of Gary Gygax and Jeff Perren’s Chainmail Medieval miniature warfare game. Dave took these experiences and codified them in to a much more regular, but still dynamic, board game.
Players take on the role of a Hero, Elf, Wizard, or Superhero and play their way across the dungeon-themed gameboard. In their explorations they fight monsters, avoid traps, and find fabulous treasures! Dave made an offering of the game, titled Dungeons of Pasha Cada, to Don Lowry of Guidon Games but it was ultimately decided that it would be too expensive to print the maps. Later the Game was picked up by TSR who put it into production in 1975.
Gary Gygax loved to play this game, playtested it extensively, provided design input, wrote several articles, and created several variants for the game.
The event was taught and refereed by designer Dave Megarry, who brought the original prototype of the gameboard and the ping-pong table he originally played it on from Dave Arneson’s basement!
