It is always mysterious what attracts you to a new board game. Is it the colourful image on the front, that great review you read (on The Hobby Compass), the description on the back of the box or a recommendation of a friend; For me, in the case of Dungeon Lords, it was the mental image it conjured up of an old but much loved PC game called Dungeon Keeper.  Like in the board game, you impersonate an eeevil lord who owns a dungeon that you have to develop by adding new corridors, rooms, traps and monsters; and also like in the board game, heroic adventurers try to penetrate your realm in search of treasure and fortune. So all I needed was an excuse for the wife and as it was my birthday, I bought it straight away.
