ISLAND OF D:

1. I NT RODUCT I ON

DUNGEON OF D The Black Knights plans were set back by the Hero's success in Dawn, and it took
longer for him to organize his minions. But the time has come at last and the Great War
has begun! Backed up by a very strong Dark Magic, the Black Knight commands a huge
A SINGLE PLAYER DUNGEON-CRAWLING CARD GAME
army of Greenskins, (including the fierce Goblorcs), Unnatural Beasts, Ice Monsters and
even the Undead. The worst part is the Light Sword's new power -- the Black Knight now
can heal his minions around him, including himself, in seconds!

The massive horde approaches from the west, swiftly heading to the capital of D,
and in a very short time three castles have fallen to his hands. Once again the situation
seems hopeless and the King of D has called upon 18 legendary heroes to gather in the
Dungeon of D, deep in the Forest of D to the south, where legend says that centuries ago
the Great Wizard of D hid the Amulet of D'eugor. It is believed that only the legendary
Amulet of D'eugor can nullify the Light Swords power. Unfortunately, the Black Knight
knew about the legend also, and so he placed a very strong magical barrier on the entrance
to prevent anyone from entering.

Luckily, the King has also summoned Daryn and Derek. They can combine their magical
abilities to open the barrier for a very short time, allowing just one person to enter the
dungeon. But even with their combined power, they can only do this once every three
hours. So, one by one the 18 heroes enter the dungeon, hoping to find the Amulet of
D'eugor and survive to exit the dungeon. So far no one has returned and you are hero
number 18, the last person to enter the dungeon. Daryn looks into your eyes before you
enter the crack in the barrier. "Please, you are our last hope" You nod a little, and then
jump in.

The Character Cards are used:
- As Characters (to represent your Character and the Characters you meet in your
journey).
- As Skill Cards (you will learn Skills throughout your adventure).
When you MEET a Character in the Dungeon, the Character you meet is in a very bad
condition. That Character can teach you his/her Skill but cannot continue his/her journey at
all.
3 . 2 . A B O U T T H E C A R D S: P O I S O N E D ! / U P G R A D E / A M U L E T

You can learn X+1 Skills (including your original Skill), where X=your INT. The Poisoned! Card is used when you are poisoned; put it above the Character Card.

Example: at the beginning of the game you have 1 Skill (your original Skill) and your INT=0,
so you cant learn any new Skill.
If at any time you learn more Skills than allowed, immediately discard Skill(s) until the
condition above is met. You may discard any Skills anytime (put that discarded Character
The Upgrade Cards are used when you upgrade your Character (you can do this in certain
Rooms), to a maximum of +4 for each of your STR / AGL/ INT stats. When upgrading, you
must do it consecutively. Example: your STR=1, INT=3 and AGL=4. You cannot Upgrade
your STR straight to 3 but must Upgrade to STR=2 first, then to STR=3.

Island of D: Dungeon of D 2/15

When you have the Amulet of Deugor, put it on the far left of your Character Card (you If at any time (and byanymeans) your HP=0 (you have no Power Cards in your hand), you
dont store this Amulet in your Inventory). immediately lose the game.

There are 5 parts in a Power Card: Power, Monster, Item, Special Item and Potion part.

The Power (number in top left) is used as an Effort Card (in a Test / Combat) and used as
many kinds of random number throughout the game.

The Monster part is used only when you meet a Wandering Monster when you MOVE.

The Item, Special Item and Potion parts are used to represent Item, Special Item or Potion
you get during your adventure. If at any time you get Item/Special Item/Potion, draw 1
Power Card then look at the corresponding part.

Some Special Items are Unique; you may have only one each (if you have a duplicate,
immediately discard the last one).

3 . 3 . A B O U T T H E C A R D S: P O W E R C A R D S

There are 4 types of Power Cards: (STR), (INT), (AGL) and (MOV).
Each type can have a Power of 1-5.

There are 2 sets of Power Cards, so there are (4 types x 5 Power) x2 sets=40 Power Cards.

Example: meanings of symbols:

: Any MOV Power Card
: Any INT Power Card
: STR Power Card with Power=4

The main use for Power Cards is to represent your HP (Health Points): your HP equals the
number of Power Cards in your hand. Example: 4 cards in your hand means HP=4.
Your maximum HP is 9 (nine). At any time your HP cannot exceed your HP max. If you do,
immediately discard any cards from your hand until your HP=your HP max.

LOSE X HP = Discard X Power Cards (of your choice) from your hand to the Discard Pile.
HEAL X HP = Draw X Power Card from the Power Deck into your hand.
CHECK1 = Draw 1 Power Card from the Power Deck, check the Power of that card (number
on the top left), then place it on the Discard Pile.
GUESS1= Speak (guess) a number between 1 and 5 then CHECK1. Compare the result of
the CHECK1 to your guess.
Whenever you get a Fruit or an Arrow, adjust the Fruits Card or the Arrows Card. At
maximum you may bring Fruits and Arrows according to the cards (max 4 each).
Note: Arrows, Magic Arrows and Vampiric Arrows are all arrows but count as different
Items (it means you may bring, for example, 4 Arrows, 2 Magic Arrows and 3 Vampiric
Arrows)

Example:
GUESS1, if your guess is wrong the monster is defeated. (Special Item Holy Water)
You speak a number between 1-5: four! Then draw 1 card put it on the Discard Pile, the
Power is 4. So your guess is right (4 = 4), the monster is unharmed.

POTION S

If at any time during your adventure you get a Potion, the Potion always comes
unidentified (use the back of Power Card so you dont know what kind of Potion it is). To
see what kind of Potion it is you must DETECT that Potion first (certain Skill / Room / Item /
Special Item allow you to do that).

DETECT 1 POTION: Flip a Potion you have so you know whats inside the Potion.

You may drink (discard) an unidentified (prepare for the result, good or bad!) or an
identified Potion only at the beginning / end of a Turn / Test / Combat / Melee.
You cannot drink a Potion as a reaction to prevent the loss of your last HP.

5. GA ME P LAY
This game is played in Turns. You take Turns until you win or lose the game.
There are 3 things you can do for each Turn (choose one for each Turn, then begin another
Turn): REST / DO ACTION / MOVE
5 . 1. GA M E P LA Y : R E S T
You may not choose to REST if you have no Fruit left.
TO REST:
1. Subtract your Fruit by 1(if your Fruit=0 then put the Fruit Card to the Unused
Card place)
2. You may discard any number of Power Cards from your hand (remember: always
leave at least 1 card in your hand!).
3. You may draw Power Cards until your HP = (your max HP - the Rooms Danger
Level). Note: your HP max is 9.
4. Shuffle the Discard Pile and the Power Deck together.
Example: your HP= 3 in a Room with Danger Level = 2 (if you choose to REST here, you can
draw until your HP=9-2=7). You choose to REST here, then choose to discard 2 cards from
your hand (your HP=1), it means you may draw 6 more cards (so your HP=7).
Example: your HP=6 in a Room with Danger Level = 4 (if you REST here, you may draw until
your HP= 9-4=5). If you choose to REST here & discard no card, you may draw no cards. (If
you want to draw card(s) you must first discard 2 or more cards, then draw until your
HP=5).
5 . 2 . G A M E P L A Y : D O AC T I O N
Your Room will contain one or more Action symbols (A). You may choose to DO one of the
available Action(s): put the Character Token pointing to the chosen Action then follow the
instructions in that chosen Action. Sometimes an Action contains a Combat or a Test (INT
or AGL ), see 5.4. A Combat and 5.5 A Test.
Note: ((A)) is the symbol for Automatic Action. You only DO this Action when you MOVE or
are teleported into that Room (see Teleport in 5.3. Game Play: MOVE).
In some Rooms (Mystic Portal, Dark Storeroom, Guardian Monster, Steep Chasm and
Boulder Trap Rooms) theres an Action that can only be done if youre in a specific Level of
Dungeon.
- (A 3) means you can DO this Action only if youre in Dungeon level 3-8.
- (A 5) means you can DO this Action only if youre in Dungeon level 5-8.
- (A < 8) means you can DO this Action only if youre in Dungeon level 1-7.
In some Rooms (Steep Chasm, Large Chest and Pit of Darkness Rooms), theres a
Continuous Action (theres a + symbol for each Action following the first Action). Unless
stated otherwise, you must continue taking those continuous Actions (until the last +
Action).
Remember: whenever you DO a continuous Action, always start from the beginning Action!
Example: In the Large Chest Room, you choose to DO the Action:
Its an INT 7+ Test . You L (lose) the Test (LOSE 1 HP but you manage to
open the chest!). Inside the Chest you find (the result of CHECK1 is 1) an Item:
draw 1 card again (see the Item part); its a Lantern, put in your Inventory. End
the Turn.
Example: In Level 6, you have 1 Rope. You DO Action in the Steep Chasm Room:
Its , but you L (Lose) the Test (fail to climb), end the Turn. On the next
Turn you DO the Action again, this time you W (Win) the Test: get the Special
Item and . Then you have to go down, . You L the Test: LOSE 1 HP
(Ouch!), end the Turn.
Example: you enter the Pit of Darkness:
Its , and you W the Test. Then , you L the Test. You try again and
LOSE 1 HP again. The third try you (at last!) W the Test then Combat the Ice
Dragon. You decide to Run Away in the Combat, this ends your Turn.
On the next Turn, you REST. Then on the following Turn, you try to enter the Pit
of Darkness again, , and so on

between Rooms, so it is important to keep looking at your HP and choose the best Room to

Since there are a lot of Skills, Items, Special Items and Potions, sometimes it can be difficult
to judge the result of your action. Heres the concept for timing: FIFO (First in First Out).
FA Q:
Q) I defeat a Skeleton in a Combat then check for Regenerate, it regenerates! Can I use my
Silver Necklace now to cancel the Regenerate?
A) No, its too late. You must use the Silver Necklace before the Regenerate check. The
Skeleton already regenerates now, prepare for Combat again! (Dont worry, you can
choose to Run Away).
Q) Im in a Melee against a Giant Bat (STR=6). My STR=0 and my HP=2. I play a card,
so I have only 1 card left. Then I draw the Second Effort Card, ! I will lose the Melee
(as 3+2+0 < 6), but I have 1 Potion of Stamina and 1 Dagger. Can I use my Dagger so I can
win that Combat? Or drink my Potion of Stamina?
A) No and no. You can use the Dagger right after you play your first Effort Card (but before
drawing your second Effort Card). You cant drink the Potion of Stamina because you
cannot drink a Potion as a reaction to prevent the loss of your last HP (see 3.3. Potions).
Q) I MOVE to the Storage Room. I dont have a Lantern, can I Rest here first?
A) No, you have to immediately MOVE to another Room (you dont have the chance to
Rest).
6. WINNING AND LOSING
You lose the game if you lose your last card in your hand by any means (so you must always
have at least 1 card in your hand). If you lose, see the Ending card (the You Lose side).
If you can escape (teleport out of the Dungeon of D) alive, you win the game! There are
two kinds of winning:
- You escape without the Amulet of Deugor. See the Survival Ending card.
- You escape with the Amulet of Deugor! See the Epilogue
at www. jackdgames.com . Congratulations!
6 .1 . SCO RIN G
Your score at the end of the game represent the wealth you gain after you exit the
dungeon alive.
If you lose = 0 VP
If you win = 5000 VP if you have the Amulet of Deugor
+ [for each you have at the end of the game, 10 VP each]
+ [the total VP of your inventory: add the starred numbers below the Picture of
Items/ Special Items/ Potions]
+ [Dungeon Level x 100]
(If youre cheating / using take-back move , the Training Mode is activated and your
final score will be 0)
Example: you escape the Dungeon alive from Level 8. You have the Amulet of Deugor,
, 1 Fruit and 2 unidentified Potions. So youre final score will be: 5000 + 270 + 10 +
(2x10) + (8x100) = 6100 VP.
Fruits are very valuable inside the dungeon, but outside the dungeon, they are cheap. So,
why not bring a lot of Fruits to the dungeon? The magical barrier in the entrance (set by the
Black Knight) destroyed almost your entire inventory, and absorbed most of your power.
Thats why you start the game with almost nothing, and with STR = AGL = INT = 0)

7. PLA YIN G T I PS
If at any time you must draw a card from the Power Deck and theres no card left in
the Power Deck, shuffle the Discard Pile first then put it in the Power Deck place.
Dont forget to use the Skills/Items/Potions/Special Items. If you forget to use them,
what has happened cannot be re-done (cant take take-back move).
If you want to leave your game to continue later, always leave at the end of a Turn. So
when you start your game again, its the beginning of a Turn. Its easier that way.
In my experience, IOD games (including Dungeon of D) are not one play win game.
Its rare someone play the game once (even twice) and win the game (in DoD the real
win is to escape from the Dungeon alive with the Amulet of Deugor). Play the game,
learn the strategy. Practice makes perfect. Happy dungeon-crawling!
8. FAQ
Q1) At the beginning of a Test / Combat / Melee, I drink an unidentified Potion, and it is a
Potion of Teleport. Theres no revealed HIDDEN DOOR Room. What happens?
A) Nothing. The Potion is wasted and youre still in a Melee.
Q1+) If theres a revealed HIDDEN DOOR Room. What happens?
A) The Test / Combat / Melee immediately ends (no effect for winning/losing because you
dont win and you dont lose), and you are teleported to your destination.
Q2) In a Melee, can I use the GRAPPLE (Wrestlers Skill), the WEAPON MASTER (Dwarfs
Skill), and use a Dagger to make my First Effort Card Power+3?
A) Yes (pity for your enemy!)
Q3) My HP=2. I choose to MOVE (I put on the Wandering Monster place) and (alas!) I
meet the monster. I have only 1 card left ( ). Can I use my last card as First Effort Card
in Melee (I will get a bonus card)?
A) Yes, but you lose the game immediately. You lose the game if you lose your last card in
your hand by any means.
Q4) I use the Elf Boots. Should I discard it?
A) No. Discard something when it says discard (Exception: when you drink a Potion, you
always discard it, explained in 3.3. Potions).
Q5) I drink the Potion of Perfume. I move to a Room with Danger Level=0. Do I meet the
Wandering Monster?
A) Yes. Because of the Potion, you dont CHECK1 for the Wandering Monster, you meet
the monster immediately (smelling good in a stinky dungeon will attract unwanted
attention!)
Q6) I have 8 cards in my Inventory (including 1 Purple Leaf & 1 Drop of Honey). I get 1
Potion (unidentified). Can I drink Drop of Honey so I can put the new Potion in my
Inventory?
A) Yes. You may drink Drop of Honey at the beginning /end of a Turn/Test/Combat/ Melee.
(You always get a Potion/Item/Special Item at the end of a Turn/Test/Combat/ Melee)
Q6+) Or, can I use my Purple Leaf to DETECT my new Potion?
A) Yes (since you can use the Purple Leaf anytime). This way, you have 1 slot to store your
new identified Potion (thanks to the Purple Leaf).
Q7) How does STRUGGLE (Gladiators Skill) work?
A) In a Melee / Test if the Second Effort Card Power=3, before you add the Power (with
First Effort Card) you may change that card with from your hand.
Example: your HP=5. In a Test you play as the first Effort Card and the Second Effort
Card is . You have in your hand, and you use the Struggle Skill: you take the to
your hand and play as the new Second Effort Card. The end result: the Effort Cards
total Power is 2+4=6.
Q8) My HP=4 in a Melee against a Wright. I play (now my HP=3) then I use
Determination (Hobbits Skill). How many cards should I discard?
A) You lose half your HP = 3/2 = 1, 5 = 1 (rounded down). So you discard 1 Power Card.
Q9) I make a Ranged Attack using a Vampiric Arrow and at the end of the Ranged Attack, I
use RECYCLE (Rangers Skill). I will get 1 Arrow or 1 Vampiric Arrow?
A) Nice try , but as stated in the Ranger Character Card: you (will) get 1 Arrow.
Q10) My STR=2. I want to upgrade to STR=4. How much should I pay?
A) You must first pay to upgrade to STR=3, then pay to upgrade to STR=4.
(The total you must pay is .)
