Throughout every game of 5-Minute Dungeon, players will collectively be playing cards that match the icons on the dungeon cards. All of this will go largely unnoticed during your playthroughs due to the rapid-fire nature of the real-time game, UNLESS you read through the "door cards" ahead of time. But to reach him, your party will first have to deal with the 20 Door Cards in your way, each representing a new challenge you must face. Minute Dungeon is a real-time cooperative game in which players attempt to fight their way through a dungeon and, hopefully, take down the final boss.

We stopped using a count-down timer and started just using a count-up timer to see if we can beat our personal best.The game objective is simple is simple, get through all the dungeon doors and past the various Monster and obstacles that are contained within them, which increase per round (5 rounds in total), until you reach the end bosses, which include, a Monster baby, a freakin dragon! It’s a great feeling when you have no useful cards and someone discards three of their cards to let you add more to your hand.

You do this by playing cards that match the symbols on the foe you are facing, tossing them into the middle of the table. In truth this game couldn’t be anymore simpler, even a 5 year old could understand it, which in the case of my son, this is 100% correct. Each round takes just 5-mintues (true to its name), so if you don't have a lot of time, you can just do fewer rounds.There's a free app, which is just a countdown timer with occasional encouragements in one of several voice options.
