Card games for Dungeon crawlers
-
As an aging dungeons & dragons player it is getting harder and harder to find enough players to attack an Orc horde, let alone a dragon.
So finding some card games which fill the void and can be played by three, or four players is a boon worth a few gold coins in any realm.
I've found these so far, and maybe this list will find more out there worth a look.
Not looking of cllectable card games, too hard to expect random people to have them. This is for stand alone card games.

not my fav game, but sure fits the criteria for this list, and isn't that bad.

Another new one that sounds excellent

this looks like it could be fun, sword play is so part of D&D

Pitying fools as hard as I can...

This is a fun little diversion. Do yourself a favor and don't look through the cards before playing; a lot of the fun is laughing at the new things as they come out. Much funnier if you've played a lot of DnD, which obviously you have...

All or any of the Dungeoneer series is the game you are looking for.

Stumbled across this one. Looks good to an old AD&D player.

Risk rethemed as a fantasy battle game. The game is short (only three rounds) and plays quickly. This one gets a lot of play at my house. Good for a quick filler and to talk smack to your friends. I have the expansion, but we haven't bothered to break it out yet.

I can also recommend HACK! A Knights of the Dinner Table themed game. Each player has their own deck, including the DM (although he isn't necessary). It's non-collectible and will scratch the D&D itch quite nicely, although the Dungeoneer series does it better with atmosphere.

Dash-in Dungeons is a fantasy dungeon exploration game that uses card-based 'tiles' for the map, cards for the rules, cards for the characters in the adventuring party, cards for their equipment, skills, spells and even cards for the mechanics!
The game can be played by 2 or more players. One player is the Dealer (aka referee - revealing the dungeon and its monsters as play proceeds) and the other players are the team of mighty heroes exploring the dungeon on a quest for glory, fame and fortune.
The simple mechanics are based on fantasy role-playing style; where any action is possible, and the Dealer adjudicates those actions with draws from the 'fate deck'.
The team of adventurers explore the dungeon, avoiding traps and slaying monsters until they acheive their objective - usually including clearing-out the dungeon of treasure.

are three in the top 50. You can work your way down from there...

modern art has zip to do with medieval D&D setting
San Juan is closer, but not quite the atmosphere of brawling, drinking, and dragon slaying
Fort Wayne

Perhaps to you, but whenever I see that dragon nesting in my hand huddled next to several aces, I know it will be awhile before I see anything as beautiful.
