ABOUT DUNGEON MAP MAKER
Dungeon Map Maker is a solitaire map-making adventure game played in two distinct phases.
In the Mapping Phase, you will act as a scribe, mapping out the floor plan of a dungeon by choosing which rooms, tunnels, and caverns to draw.
The rules are simple:
- Roll 3 dice (1 x d20 & 2 x d6).
- Use the number on the d20 to add a Monster or Loot item to a room (or area if a room doesn't exist there yet).
- With the 2d6, use one number to choose a room on one of the cards, and the other number to determine how many entrances there are in the room:
During this phase, you will play up to 20 turns as you map out the dungeon.
In addition to the Main Quest that you must complete, you should aim to earn as much Gold as possible from the 5 Side Quests (categories: Dungeon, Loot, Encounter, Monster, & Boss).
If you do successfully complete the Main Quest, tally up your Gold on the Mapping Quests mini game sheet. You can use this Gold at the Shop during the second part of the game: the Exploration Phase...
In the Exploration Phase, you will flip all of the cards (and Mapping Quests mini game sheet) over to their Exploration sides.
After preparing for your adventure by purchasing any items from the Shop, you will then enter the dungeon. Starting from the Dungeon Entrance, you will traverse the dungeon room by room, aiming to gain enough Experience (xp) and items to be able to complete the Exploration Phase objective: defeat the dungeon’s Boss.
Set yourself up for success by carefully crafting your map, then challenge yourself against the worst of the dungeon!
Both the Mapping and Exploration Phases can be enjoyed on their own, and the Mapping Phase can also be a way to create dungeon maps for your own roleplaying campaigns!

I've been hoping for this from you ever since I played FMM the first time. I'm pumped! Saved the kickstarter page, and I look forward to backing day 1.
Fantastic! Thank you!
And me too: I’ve always felt that the maps made in FMM are begging to be explored. I think the dungeon crawl aspect of DMM is a big step towards scratching that itch.
