Original (1975): Elf, Hero, Superhero, Wizard.

In the 2012 version of the game, released under the Dungeons & Dragons brand name, the heroes are Rogue, Cleric, Fighter, and Wizard, allowing for up to 8 players. As there were multiple playing pieces, custom game variations could be set up with more than one of a given character class (using an arbitrarily-colored piece), but ordinarily a game involved players selecting different classes. The 1992 'Classic Dungeon' had the same six classes.

The 1989 'New Dungeon' had six classes: the Warrior, Elf, Dwarf, Wizard, Paladin, and Thief. These were ordinarily represented by the green, blue, red, and white pieces respectively. The original (1975) game featured four character classes: the Elf, Hero, Superhero, and Wizard (the hero and superhero are warriors, with the superhero being more powerful). The artwork on the face of the cards was in black and white, while the backs were colored by level: gold for first, orange for second, red for third, magenta for fourth, green for fifth, and blue for the sixth level. The original edition of the game featured the rulebook, a folding vinyl cloth gameboard, four colors of Parcheesi-style playing pieces (white, blue, red, and green), a pair of six-sided dice, and an assortment of color-coded monster and treasure cards for the six levels of the dungeon. Artwork and game pieces Dave Megarry leading a session of Dungeon! at Gary Con, using the original published edition. Ewalt, in his book Of Dice and Men, described Megarry's original edition of the game as 'a Blackmoor-inspired board game that represented TSR's most ambitious production to date: a color game map, customized cards, tokens, dice, and a rules booklet all packaged in an attractive box'.

The game has been described as the first adventure board game. The object of the game is to be the first to return to the beginning chamber with a set value of treasure. Players choose different character classes with different abilities. Greater treasures are located in deeper levels of the dungeon, along with tougher monsters. Players move around the board seeking to defeat monsters and claim treasure. ĭungeon! features a map of a simple six-level dungeon with hallways, rooms, and chambers. Dungeon! simulates some aspects of the Dungeons & Dragons ( D&D) role-playing game, which was released in 1974, although Megarry had a prototype of Dungeon! ready as early as 1972. Additional contributions through multiple editions were made by Gary Gygax, Steve Winter, Jeff Grubb, Chris Dupuis and Michael Gray. Dungeon! is an adventure board game designed by David R.
