Sting board game with combat and dungeons, like a JRPG Mario Party. Four-player local multi, long and sneaky sessions, friendship-ending vibe. Fun for long game nights with friends who enjoy backstabbing with a smile.

Claiming the title of Dokapon Master takes far more than a single sitting: every lap of the board piles on turn-based fights, level-ups, town rescues and dirty tricks that can flip everyone's fortunes in an instant. Matches happily stretch across hours, often over several four-player sessions where betrayals and reversals keep reigniting the stakes. That blend of RPG depth and ruthless board game is exactly why it earned its time-devouring reputation.
A board game and RPG crossover from Sting, Dokapon Kingdom sends up to four players to grow rich, level up and above all sabotage each other across a kingdom to reconquer. The gleeful cruelty of the dirty tricks, the randomness of the squares and the chance to ruin a friend earn its reputation as a hilarious friendship breaker. The length of the games and the reliance on multiplayer are worth knowing. A fiendishly convivial party RPG for groups who love chaos and biting competition.
