Spiel 2015 Preview: Dungeon Busters, or Sloughing Your Way to Success
Board Game: Dungeon Busters
• Tomohiro Enoki's Dungeon Busters from Divedice is a quick-playing, sort of simultaneous bidding game in which 3-5 players try to do as little work as possible fighting monsters so that they can instead focus on scooping up the gems that monster protects — but if everyone's trying to get the goods, then the monster applies a judicious smackdown on whoever's acting greediest.

Can you find the proper balance between fighting and foraging to become the richest dungeon buster?
