Game Review: 5 Minute Dungeon - The fastest dungeon crawler

Back in the fall of last year, Amazon first introduced me to the game 5-Minute Dungeon. The title appeared in the "Other customers also bought" list. If the description sounds exciting, I buy the game and put it on the shelf—it's better to have it than need it. It came to the table on this year's holiday in Denmark.

While searching for DnD items on Amazon, I found this English-language book. It's the first in an eight-part series. The hero wakes up in a lonely cave without memory of his past or name. In classic role-playing style, he must fight through the dungeon he's trapped in. As a role-playing fan, I find it a true delight to see how the exploration, looting, and leveling are woven into an exciting st…
