Dungeon Twister

Dungeon Twister is a strategy board game with a fantasy theme. Dungeon Twister was created by Christophe Boelinger, who published other French games such as Halloween Party, A Dog's Life, and Snowboard. Dungeon Twister was originally printed in French and has gained popularity worldwide with English and German releases.

History

The Dungeon Twister Basic Set was produced in France in 2004 by Asmodée Éditions. It was again produced in 2005 in the U.S., also by Asmodée. In November 2009, Asmodée and Hydravision Entertainment together announced that a video game adaptation of the game would be released in Q3 2009 for Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade.[1] In May 2012, it was announced that the Xbox 360 had been dropped in favor of PlayStation 3, with a new release slated for Q2/Q3 2012 via PlayStation Network.[2][3] In late June 2012, the final release date of 3 July 2012 was announced.[4][5][6][7] Boellinger stated that he liked the game,[8] but the game saw very negative reception from critics.[9][10]

On April 14, 2014, a crowdfunding project is launched on Ulule, in order to make the adaptation of the game on tablets and smartphones .
