Everything you need to create characters and play the new adventures in this introduction to the world’s greatest roleplaying game.
AdvertisementDungeons & Dragons is a cooperative storytelling game that harnesses your imagination and invites you to explore a fantastic world of adventure, where heroes battle monsters, find treasures, and overcome quests. The D&D Essentials Kit is a new introductory product meant to bring D&D to audiences interested in jumping into a fantasy story.
This box contains the essentials you need to run a D&D game with one Dungeon Master and one to five adventurers. A newly designed rulebook on-boards players by teaching them how to make characters, and the included adventure, Dragon of Icespire Peak, introduces a new 1-on-1 rules variant.
The new Essentials Kit will be available on June 24th at Target, but will be available everywhere else on September 3rd. But that’s not all–there’s also been a new Rick-and-Morty-themed adventure in the works, following the success of the comics.
