* DecapitatedArmy: It doesn't matter many how many monsters are in the enemy dungeon or what levels they are, once their Monster Lord goes down its game over.
* DiscOneNuke: Extremely risky, but entirely possible. Players can summon their level 4 ace monster on their first turn with a lucky enough roll. However, the early game is usually better spent building up a dungeon path so they don't get boxed in by a bunch of weak CannonFodder summons. As such, most players stick to playing level 1 and 2 monsters during the first couple rounds and usually don't try for the big guys until about turn five or six when they can afford to miss a few rolls.
* FragileSpeedster: The Strike Ninja. He has pretty low stats for a level 3 (20 HP and ATK and only 10 DEF) but makes up for it with his fantastic speed and evasion abilities. In addition to moving 3 spaces for a single Movement Crest he can also temporarily avoid being targeted by enemies for 3 Trap Crests. This gives him some decent survivability in bad situations and makes him great at rushing in to deliver the final blow to a weakened opponent.

''Franchise/YuGiOh: Dungeon Dice Monsters'' was an attempted spin-off of the ''TableTop/YuGiOh'' card game back at the height of its popularity. Instead of cards, Dungeon Dice Monsters focuses around the use of dice.
Each player starts with a monster lord on their side of the field. Players roll dice to see if they can summon a monster of the level of dice used. If the player gets two summon crest on their roll, they can summon the monster equal to the dice level if used. In addition, players can build up crest, which has a number of uses from movement to attacking, defending or using abilities, which can be stored in a pool to a maximum of ten each.
The crests are as follow:

A monster who manages to whittle down the HP total of the monster their attacking destroys the monster. However, defense crests can be used to have the defending monster defend. If the defending monsters defense is higher than the attacking monsters ATK, the difference is subtracted from the attacking monsters HP.
Monsters can also either be flying or tunnel. These monsters require twice the amount of movement crests in order to get around the board.
Upon summon, the player can choose from a multiple of dungeon tiles that they can rotate to fit into the arena. Monsters are locked into certain positions on the dungeon tiles though, so clever placement is key.
There are two ways to win; if the player is unable to summon any more monsters or if the opponents monster lord is attacked three times.
There are also two formats; traditional and advanced format.
In traditional format, both players select six monsters/item cards from a deck, with each player only getting one roll per turn.
In advanced format, the players have ten monsters/item cards to choose from their deck and can roll twice per turn, speeding up considerably. There is also a triple summon rule; if the player manages to roll three summon crests in one roll, they can summon a monster one level higher than the dice used.
Despite initial positive reception, the spin-off was doomed for a multiple of reasons. Firstly, the dungeon tiles themselves were rather flimsy and easy to tear by accident, in addition to being difficult to keep from sliding around on the game mat. Secondly, the monster figures were ''considerably'' more expensive than cards were. Lastly, the initial release was prone to BlindIdiotTranslation, with several cards listing needed crest for abilities using the GBA symbols for certain crest, leading to a lot of GuideDangit moments over which crest was needed for which ability.
Ultimately, the series was canceled after a few sets. Despite this, Dungeon Dice Monsters [[CultClassic still retains a small but loyal fanbase]] who are rather bummed that series was canned so quickly, [[HouseRule with many fan-made cards/monsters still being created for the game to today]].
