Mantic Confirm their Dungeon Boardgame
February 1, 2011 by beerogre
So... it looks like Warren had it right!
After a quick call to Ronnie from Mantic Games, he has just confirmed the release of the first installment of the Mantic Dungeon Boardgame... Dwarf King's Hold: Undead Rising
The game will include printed dungeon tiles, a slew of Mantic's plastic miniatures and all the things you'll need for an evenings dungeon-bashing with your mates.
This first installment of the game will feature Mantic's Dwarf and Undead range. The stalwart Dwarves will be bringing their big hammers, while the sinister necromatic forces will be able to regenerate their losses and suck the life out of our diminutive hereos with their vampric magic.
But that's not all we've heard...
The next installment of the game will feature the Elves and Dwarves and it's been titled "Ancient Grudge", this game will feature updated rules for ranged attacks and or course how to integrate the Elven host into your game.
This second set will be self contained or you can add it to your Undead Rising set, to make an even bigger dungeon, for twice the fun and perhaps even a three-way dungeon rumble!
Finally, there were some whispered references to the third game in the series... a game with a working title of "Green Tide"... that's right guys!
ORCS!!!
Ronnie mentioned that this game [might] include rules for warmachines, but details are being kept under wraps while the contents of the game are finalised.
So what do you think guys, are you getting as excited as us?
We've already placed our pre-order and are eagerly waiting by the letterbox for March.
If you fancy getting a pre-order too, Wayland Games are offering the Dwarf King's Hold for £31.00!
Interest is expected to be high, so get in early and follow along with us when we film our review of the new set.

Oh I’m getting that.
Green tide, I really hope is Pirate Orcs.
any sneak peaks??
There’s no artwork released yet, but as soon as there is, we’ll get it published.
There’s something of a drip-feed of info from Mantic, they’re keeping most of the details under wraps, but we got exclusive details, not only on the first game, but the next two releases.
Things are really taking off, we have high hopes for Mantic’s latest choice of direction.

Thanks for the info Andy – sounds very cool.
Just pre-ordered it at Wayland!
This is great news. Preordered the first one…. now I just need to hope they give my wallet a breather between releases.
Undead rising… My dwarf hero will have covered wars you know (sorry couldn’t resist)
Good to see that the guys at Mantic are going at this dungeon crawler stuff with some weight and not just testing the waters, that I’d think will encourage more sales as you know its going to be supported
HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Days, I will definitely grab a copy of this…..looking forward to more news and updates about it!
Must preorder now……….
I love dungeon crawlers!!!
I’m really excited for your review vid of the game.
I know what I’m getting for my birthday !
This is cool and all but does anyone else remember along time ago mantic talking about fishmen being one of there next armies what happened to that?
Andy please say you are gunna let me play this thing!
As you know Sam, I am a cruel and petty tyrant… very petty… but I’m sure even my coal-black heart would allow me to give a go at this.
Provided you’ve got your work done and even then, only for an hour before it’s back to the Beasts of War salt mines!
😀

Don’t worry kiddo I’m gonna get a few nights dedicated to this in the studio ;o)
This confirms all the assumptions.
Not going to preorder until i see some more details, but i must admit i’m very looking forward for it! Also £26.99 means less than 32€, way to go guys, absolutely the way to go… 😀
A bit early in the day to get excited and pre-order something you know next to nothing about :/
I started thinking about mantic… now i’m loving it!
Any news on if they will do a version without the figures for those with an already massive Mantic undead and dwarf horde (assuming it uses those from the current range)?
Unlikely i guess but it would be a good idea I think for all those that have supported them over the last year or so.
What do you think?

Since it’s a dungeon crawl I’m interested in seeing how they handle the race vs race theme – it sounds different to the usual “party of heroes” vs “inhabitants of the dungeon/castle/ruins etc” model …..
Interesting, I might have to give Mantic a look and check them out.
I’m going to wait and order it direct from Mantic. I know it will cost a few extra sheckles, But thats just me. Hopefully we will get some more details soon.
They’ve got a deal where you get a voucher if you pre-order. About a fiver.
Tidy.
Orcs and a dungeon from my favorite mini company? Can’t wait!
I loved Dungeonquest/Heroquest and Hybrid, but I would love to see something different this time around.
Mantic is all about Big Battles and ‘more’ miniatures, so how about a Dungeon battle board game, where you have a lot of figures moving around the dungeon rather than just 5-6 adventurers. This would bring a totally new look to dungeon board games!!!
Surely that’s just a big battle in a cave though …..
Because this is exactly the opposite thing they are trying to achieve with this kind of game. You should be able to take your favorite miniature and “impersonate” him, not an entire faction of characters. The game should also be fast, easy to learn and easy to control in order to make it simplier for you to assemble a party of friend with whom you can play it (is it correct to say “with whom you can play”? it sounds wrong to me…). Maybe with all the expansions they are planning to do the gameplay will become more similar to… Read more »
If you want a game that’s fast, easy to learn and easy to control play Ludo 🙂 Short games are all well and good but I’d rather have something that could fill an evening – ideally multiple levels could cover both bases I suppose …
-_- obviously i didn’t mean “10-12 minutes and it’s all done”, something that can span between 1 and 2 hours is what i’m expecting from them.
“with whom you can play” is grammatically correct, but who you can play with is also acceptable by the laws of commonly used linguistics
wanna see the art work, board tiles and rule book but definitely excited, if only it was coming out before my birthday at the end of Feb:-(
Change your date of birth by deed pole ….. 😉
My eye shall watch this one closely
I was kind of hoping they would push the boundries with 3D platic tiles, but I’m sure that’s asking too much.
REALLY looking forward to this. Had a little voice in my head telling me to hold off on Decent all this time….
Plastic tiles and or other scenary would be perfect expansions, hint hint 😉
This is Awesome !!! Crap i’m broke now, and it is not going to get any better (Lets see if i start selling body parts, how much can i make ?) Who wants a kidney. Dam i need over time .
