The Classic Dungeon board game (1992): The big ’89 New Dungeon set gets new art

Finally got in a 1992 edition of the Dungeon board game. In physical form is much the same as the 1989 set. Board is the same size, cards appear to have the same mechanics, and in the same proportions. Figures are the same.

However the art and graphics are all new. Box art, board art, card art was all redone in the 1992 box.

These are huge sets, the most elaborate of the many incarnations of the Dungeon! boardgame.

I will model the ’92 set photoshoot closely after the 1989 set post, so they can be compared in side-by-side windows.

Box art look familiar? Dungeons & Dragons module X9: The Savage Coast. See all of the X-series modules at my RPG reference site.

The board is huge, measuring 21 1/4″ x 35 5/8″. The layout is exactly the same, but all graphics have been updated.

Monster and Treasure cards (196). Likewise, graphics updated, but all cards have the same mechanics.

2	9	15
3	16	22

Card counts for the various levels. Identical to the 1989 set.

Spell cards (12*3 = 36) and blank cards (6). Also identical, with new graphics

The plastic figures are identical (except color) to the figures in the 1989 New Dungeon Set. TSR would again use these figures in the Classic Dungeons & Dragons set (1994).
