Top 7 Classic Dungeon Crawler Gimmicks | Fun Ways to Engage Players with Adventure Board Games
631Always Board Never Boring loves a good gimmick... and sometimes a bad one... so in this video he runs down seven gimmicks that publishers have used to make their dungeon crawling board games more appealing.
While editing this video, ABNB thought he probably should have included click bases, as seen in HeroClix and other Wizkids games as well as Dark World. What other cool gimmicks has he left off the list that you would have included?
Also, what good examples of board games can you think of that use these gimmicks? ABNB didn't mention the Monster in my Pocket or Masters of the Universe games in the section on "Classic Toys" and omitted HeroScape from the "3D Boards" section. There must be hundreds more. Please share your ideas in the comments.
