Date an owlbear, make friends with a gelatinous cube, backstab your best friend’s orc boyfriend! Dungeon Date is a fast, fun card game for 2 to 4 fresh-faced adventurers. Build an outfit of stylish adventuring gear, then use your sweet look to romance, befriend, and slay a dungeon-full of monsters! Each turn, players choose and reveal action cards, visiting one of four dungeon doors to encounter monsters in the dungeon. Romance, befriend, or slay the monster you encounter by matching the style symbols for that action on the monster card. Plan carefully around the other adventurers in the dungeon -- if you visit the same door, you must fight, comparing fight values from your current action card plus the card you played on the previous turn. Visit the stylomancer to enchant your outfit with additional style symbols and claim a personal style. At the end of the dungeon season, score renown from sets of monsters collected and for in-fashion style symbols in your final outfit. Most renown wins! —description from the designer
