Lairs Review | The Dungeon-Building Game That Feels Like Battleship
Show notes
Dive into the dungeon with Will and Sara as they explore Lairs from Kids Table Board Gaming, along with its Adventure Pack and Deeper Dungeons expansions! In this video, they discuss how the game plays, what each expansion adds, and whether all the extra content is worth adding to your collection.
Designed by Chris Westman and Josh Kapell, Lairs is a two-player dungeon-building game where players create secret labyrinths filled with monsters, traps, treasures, and surprises. Using deduction, exploration, and clever dungeon design, you'll race to escape your opponent's maze while collecting the most points along the way.
The Adventure Pack introduces a campaign-style progression system with unlockable content, new monsters, abilities, treasures, and surprises. Deeper Dungeons expands the experience even further with larger maps, terrain effects, character powers, secret doors, keys, gates, and even multiplayer gameplay.
