If you have ever wanted a full dungeon crawl that fits in your coat pocket, Mini Rogue has been quietly delivering exactly that, and it is about to get a lot bigger. Nuts! Publishing has kicked off Season 2 of its tiny roguelike, a wave of new boxes and expansions that will roughly double the amount of Mini Rogue content on shelves by the autumn.

See how it worksDesigned by Paolo Di Stefano and Gabriel Gendron, Mini Rogue is a roguelike-inspired dungeon crawler for one or two players that packs randomly generated rooms, monsters, merchants and bosses into a deck of cards and a handful of dice. A game runs 15 to 30 minutes, you descend level by level chasing a fabled ruby buried in the depths, and death sends you back to the start with nothing but hard-won experience.
Leading Season 2 is The Council, a standalone box you can play on its own or bolt onto the base game. It drops your adventurer into a doomed city ruled by a power-crazed regent, sending you through procedurally built alleyways toward a showdown with the King's Remains. On its own it plays solo or as a two-player competitive duel via the new Overlord module; combine it with the original and you can run it cooperatively for up to three, or competitively for up to four.

Mountains of Torment leans into risk, madness and high-stakes rewards, while Beyond the Portal adds two new heroes, an Occultist and a Tinkerer, plus alternate-universe versions of the existing cast. English-language editions come via Ares Games, so UK shops should have them alongside the French printings.
