5-Minute Dungeon is a real-time cooperative card game from Outset Media for 2–5 players, ages 8+, that plays in about 5–30 minutes.
How it plays
5-Minute Dungeon is a chaotic, cooperative, real-time card game. You have only five minutes to escape the dungeon, so there's no time for a careful plan.
Communication and teamwork are everything. You face several bosses on the way to the Dungeon Master, so a full game runs from about 5 to 30 minutes depending on how far you get.
Saga Table Talk
Great for: Groups who like fast, noisy teamwork, and families with kids 8 and up.
What a game night feels like: Pure panic in the best way. Everyone slaps down cards and shouts what they need as the timer runs out.
If you like this, try: Pandemic, Clans and Glory
Teaching tip: Play the first boss once without the timer so everyone learns what the symbols mean.
