Thunderstone
This week, the panel delves into the dungeon with the classic deck-builder, Thunderstone. Designed by Mike Elliott, Thunderstone was published in 2009 by Alderac Entertainment Group. It had five expansions before being re-implemented by Thunderstone Advance: Towers of Ruin in 2012.
In Thunderstone, players take on the role of adventurers seeking to defeat monsters in an ever-evolving dungeon filled with dangers. Players will gear up in the Village, but ultimately glory can only be found in the Dungeon. Thunderstone combines elements of deck-building with dungeon exploration and monster combat. Thunderstone and its many expansions have been praised for its strategic depth, thematic immersion, and card variety.
