Wrath of Ashardalon

Modern Hobby Strategy Games

Dungeons and Dragons: Wrath of Ashardalon is a cooperative dungeon-crawl board game published by Wizards of the Coast in 2011 for one to five players. Set within the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy universe, it casts players as a party of adventurers exploring a monster-filled labyrinth carved into a cave system, hunting for a fearsome red dragon named Ashardalon that lurks somewhere within its depths. Rather than competing against one another, the players work together against the game itself, moving through a series of modular tile-based encounters and story-driven quests that escalate in danger as the adventurers push deeper toward the dragon's lair. The game continues the Dungeons and Dragons board game line's emphasis on tactical combat and shared risk, asking its players to balance exploration, resource management and combat readiness across multiple linked scenarios rather than a single fixed board.
