Selfish Dungeon: Dungeon Edition – A Devious Strategy Game by Ridley’s Games

Sharpen your wits, betray your party, and claim victory in Selfish Dungeon: Dungeon Edition, the ultimate devious strategy game for fans of light strategy games, fantasy, and sabotage. From Ridley's Games — known for awesome games filled with hilarious party games, clever puzzles, and unforgettable moments — comes a twisted dungeon crawl featuring three exits. There are three ways out, but only one is a good choice—choosing the worst can have dire consequences. Only one exit grants freedom without cost, while the others come at a price.

Story & Setup

Deep beneath the earth lies a deadly lair ruled by the cruel Dungeon Lord. You and your fellow heroes are trapped in a pitch-black dungeon, with your torch’s dying flame as the only shield against total darkness and dreaded Skull Legion transformation. There are three exits—but only one way leads to freedom freely. And only the first person through will make it out alive.

Place three exit cards around the table. Every hero begins seven tantalizing labyrinth moves from their starting position, holding a hand of Light cards and Action cards—your first line of defense in this treacherous race.

Gameplay Highlights

Selfish Dungeon delivers a fast-paced, competitive experience where players must outwit each other to escape the dungeon first. The game emphasizes quick decision-making, resource management, and strategic movement. Players are racing to escape while simultaneously keeping their torch lit, managing both objectives at once.

• Devious Strategy & Fast-Paced Card Play

Take turns of seven moves, using deck protector sleeves 100ct ultrasonic action cards to sabotage others, snatch light, or wander through dangerous passages battling monsters and rival players. Every move must balance gaining ground and keeping your torch lit—or risk joining the dreaded Skull Legion. With only seven moves, players have less time to make critical decisions compared to other games, increasing the urgency and intensity of each turn.

• Dangerous Passages & Sabotage

Move through dark dungeon passageways, triggering traps and needing to escape traps to survive, battling dungeon monsters, or stealing torch cards from your companions. When your torch dies, you flip as a Skull Legion minion and start wrecking havoc – until someone rescues you or you’re forced out of the game.

• Only the First Person Escapes

While others struggle in darkness, only the earliest escape across the correct exit guarantees survival. Selfish Dungeon isn’t about cooperation—it’s about survival, betrayal, and making sure others color within your shadow.
