Dungeons of Doria (2nd Edition) & Arcane Abominations | First Look + First Impressions

Description provided by Wandering Hexes on YouTube:

This is an unboxing/overview of the fantasy dungeon crawl card board game Dungeons of Doria (2nd Edition) along with the expansion, Arcane Abominations. Designed by Viktor Ahrens and published by Exploding 10 Games. A cooperative dungeon crawler for 1-6 players set in the fantasy world of "Doria". You are heroes, mercenaries and vagabonds, drawn from far flung corners of the continent Doria, seeking adventure, glory and gold. The vastness of Doria teems with dungeons, towers and cellars crammed with monsters, treasures and ancient artifacts. Work together to survive terrible perils and escape the dungeons of Doria! Dungeons of Doria is played without a game master. Select a quest and start exploring a dungeon. Either choose from standalone adventures you complete in one session or pick one of the four included campaigns continuing over multiple scenarios. The Dungeons of Doria Initiative System allows each character to spend their initiative points on multiple actions such as moving, attacking, looting or repairing damaged equipment. The character or monster with the highest initiative value defines the next action. Each player must decide on what to do: Use several quick actions, one slower action or a combination - depending on the items equipped. Plan tactical fights, disarm traps and manage your inventory of loot. Over 400 unique loot cards, 19 opponents each with their own abilities plus monster modifiers and 8 initial characters that can be completely customized as you wish. Arcane Abominations: Something unnatural is happening in Doria. Creatures are changing. They are getting faster. Stronger. Even more cruel than before. The trail leads to a dark alchemist whose experiments defy the laws of life. Find him before his dark creations consume the realm. And then there is an old man seeking vengeance for his lost family. His village lies in ruins, scorched by monsters that now pillage the land. Will you take his gold and help him? Play through one of 5 additional standalone quests, each playable on its own or combined into a short story arc. Alternatively, embark on one of 2 new campaigns, each featuring 8+ scenarios. This expansion for Dungeons of Doria introduces 8 new rooms including their unique Room Events, over 40 new Loot Cards, and 5 new opponents with distinct abilities. Plus 4 additional Characters, 20 twisted new Monster Modifiers, as well as 6 new Player Boards for tracking Hit Points and Psi Points.
