The Sword and the Key act as an automatic 5 for Monster rooms and Treasure rooms, respectively. Special Item cards are sort of set in two types: ones that help with certain rooms and others that give you special actions. Play a card and take the item that corresponds with the card you played, sometimes Gold, or healing, other times Special Item cards. causing them to lose Gold or gain a number of Wounds depending on the highest card played for that room. Most of them offer your opponents a chance to to ambush you, they target the player with the most Gold, or the least Wounds, etc. If you don't defeat the Monster, whoever played the lowest Power card takes the wounds! Monsters - Require a certain amount of Power (from your Power cards) to defeat them.The room types are the same: Monsters, Traps, Treasures, and Vaults. Then one room at a time you'll have to reluctantly work together with the other players to move your way through each room. This makes the levels still random, but you're just dealing from a deck of cards instead of that tedious setup of dealing out cards under the table.

Matt, who was working the booth and is a super-nice dude, handed me a copy of Holmes for review, and I mentioned that my friends were raving about Dungeon Raiders and I'd be more than happy to check it out too. I was demoing one of their new 2-player releases, Holmes: Sherlock and Mycroft, and while I was doing that AJ (co-host of Boardgames Daily) and our friend Sepos demoed another title they had at the show: Dungeon Raiders. They raided it twice! A couple years ago I happened upon a little booth at Origins: Devir Games. As an international company, Devir is still (in my opinion) a little under-recognized here in the states.
