Read a review here: A Spelunking Adventure for 1 to 6. | Deep Dig | BoardGameGeek [boardgamegeek.com]

Deep Dig is an easy-to-learn adventure game for 1 to 6 players You can dig alone, or bring your friends along too. It takes about 10 minutes per player.

At first, the game will be lighthearted and a little goofy. But as you move down through the dig deck, things become darker, scarier, and deadly serious. At first you may be fighting bats and sleeping foxes, but eventually you will find yourself going toe-to-toe against ten thousand spiders or It That Hungers.

Deep Dig is a light game. It's easy to learn and you won't have to deep fry your brain just to figure out what your options are.

Now that's not to say that serious gamers won't enjoy Deep Dig. Every encounter has a compelling decision to make. While you can relax and do whatever you want, those who carefully choose which dangers to avoid, which tools to buy and when to use them, and whether to fight or escape from each monster, will have an edge over their opponents.

With 107 unique cards, there's plenty to explore. And even after you've seen all the cards you'll find that there are so many possibilities that you will never know for sure what's lurking around the corner. Every encounter is full of suspense.

IMPORTANT: Deep Dig requires about 12 counters per player (not included). You can use coins, glass beads, parts from other games, or any other small object as counters. You can also buy glass beads and other suitable counters from this very site (under shop > game pieces). Counters were not included because they would raise the price to $30 and most of you will already have coins you can use anyway.

There will be a how-to-play video, an introductory video, and an actual game play video coming soon.

Why buy this?

I actually had more fun playing Deep Dig than I thought I would. My daughter and son enjoyed it enough where they wanted to play it again several times and I enjoyed it enough where I didn’t mind ...

  • Easy to learn.
  • Lots of excitement and adventure.
  • Rich underground theme with 180 cards to explore.
