-[beeping]-[Angela sighs] Who's ready for Family Game Night? -Oh, yeah!-I love Family Game Night! -All of you are going down.
-Ooh! What do we play this time? Sugar City?Oh, no, Medical Procedure! -Ooh, Apologize!-Easy, Hank.
Before we pick a game, we have to pick who picks the game, using.
.
.
the Wheel of Choosing! Yeah! I call dibs on spinning.
Woo! [all whooping in anticipation] [disappointed groans] -Huzzah!-Can I spin again? Ben always picks super complicated, impossible nerd games -that nobody understands.
-Worry not, my friends.
This time I've got something new.
[clattering and scraping] A mysterious gameI found in an old curio shop.
The cashier said it just appearedon a shelf one day.
Then he cackled, which I take to meanthat the game is a lot of fun.
It's called Welcome to the Dungeon.
I don't know, Ben.
Are you surewe won't need graph paper for this? Relax! I know I've made picksthat you didn't love before, -but this game is gonna be.
.
.
-[all gasp] [distorted] .
.
.
completely different.
[all yelling] [cheering] [all] Whoa! Where are we? And what did you do? I didn't do anything! Oh, no! I think we're in the game.
Well, that's just preposterous! -[spooky voice] Welcome.
.
.
-[all gasp] .
.
.
to the Dungeon, the game where you must survivea perilous world and defeat the Diamond Dust Dragon.
For two to six players.
-Who's preposterous now, Ben?-[splutters] Hold on.
We were just supposed toplay a board game.
Now you're saying that we have togo on some fantasy adventure and fight a dragon? I mean, that sounds.
.
.
amazing! -Yeah! Ultimate Family Game Night!-How's the game go, dungeon dude? First you must chooseyour character card.
Neat! I'm a noble knight.
An archer thief! This fits.
A wizard! Your wish is my command.
A fearsome barbarian? Nice.
[roars] You guys look great, but get ready for me, because I'm.
.
.
the sheltered princess? -Aww!-Nice dress, milady.
[smacks kiss] Oh! Huh? -[all gasp]-[Tom] Okay, wow! -Now I will explain the rules of.
.
.
-Whoa! We'll figure it out as we go along.
-Let's just start playing.
Right, guys?-Very well.
Enjoy your.
.
.
game! [evil laughter] Ha ha ha ha ha! He's laughing, I'm laughing.
We're having fun! This is gonna be great! [excited whooping] [Tom] Oh, okay.
-[rumbling]-[all squealing] [laughter] -[chittering]-Barbarian smash! -[roars]-Alakazam! [panting] [Ben laughs] See, guys? It's fun! [Tom] I love this game!Come on, let's keep going.
-[Angela] Come on, guys!-[laughter] [Ben] This is it.
The lair of the dragon.
[Hank] Woo-hoo!Hey, Ben, sorry we doubted you.
But I gotta admit, you really pickeda great game.
Good job! Welcome to the final dungeonof Welcome to the Dungeon! [cackles] Please turn in any amulets of power you might have collected on your journey.
What is an amulet? Did anyone manage to findthe three crystals of color? The lever of leveling up? -The pickle of power?-What are you talking about? We didn't know about any of that.
-I see.
Well, this is going to hurt.
-[all squealing] -[cackles]-[squealing] [evil laughter] [all screaming] Oh! Oh, wow.
We're not dragon-fried.
But we're back at the start of the game.
What happened? [all gasp} You were defeatedby the Diamond Dust Dragon.
Sorry about that.
[cackles] That's okay.
We'll get it next time.
See you on the next game night, stone guy! How do we get out of here? You simply have to beat the dragon.
And unless you do, you're trapped forever! [cackles] Ben, you are never allowedto pick a game ever again! What? There's no wayI could have known about this! Sure there is! It's all explained in the official game rules.
Inventory management.
.
.
character statistics.
.
.
upgrade tokens? Oh, I should have known! This is one of Ben's super complicated, impossible nerd games that no one understands! Uh.
.
.
I.
.
.
I mean.
.
.
I mean, okay! I heard about Welcome to the Dungeon.
It's a legendary nerd gameno one ever beat.
I thought that was becauseno one was up to the challenge! Nope.
It's because everyone who ever played got trapped inside.
How could you do this to me? -What were you thinking?-Great game, Ben! Everybody calm down! I can defeat the dragon for you, okay? I'm good at games like this.
I like 'em.
So you just sit backand let me fix everything.
[chittering] [all yelling] -What did you do?-He broke a major rule of Welcome to the Dungeon.
This game is for two to six players, not one player.
If you break a major rule, you become a cave crab.
It happens to everyone eventually.
-[cackles]-[chitters] What are we gonna do?No one's as good at games as Ben.
Hey, guys, I ordered a bucket of sludgethree days ago.
It says it was delivered, but.
.
.
Oh, hello, where is everybody? Ooh, this must be one of them FamilyGame Nights I've heard about!.
Hank? Ginger? Hello? Oh! Maybe they're.
.
.
[yells] Ow! Huh? Oh, no, Jeremy, you too? Huh? Wh– Wh– Where am I? We're trapped in a gameand the only way out is to beat it.
-And the rules are really confusing!-[Hank] Also, Ben is a crab now.
[chitters] Oh! Trapped? Trapped? No! I can't be trapped! A germ needs space to spread! Then help us figure out the differencebetween “backup mana” and “reserve magic.
” Except you can't, becausethis whole stupid thing is impossible! Well, if I had to guess, I'd say backup manalets you cast more spells and reserve magic lets you cast, uh.
.
.
bigger spells, maybe? -Yeah.
That kinda almost makes sense.
-I'm good at rules.
I had to learn the rulesof the big people world.
Even the crazy ones, like toilet flushing.
Ah! Oh! Oh! [chuckles] Guys.
.
.
I have a plan.
[chuckles] Welcome back! Are you ready for a rematch? Reveal your amulets, crystals and pickles of power.
We don't have any of that, but we have something better: a good understanding of this game's rules.
Ha! No one understands this game! -[roaring]-That's why it's so challenging.
Prepare for your dragony doom! [roaring] [thud] Right, boss, rule violation.
The dragon cannot roarand slam its tail in one turn.
That is considered two separate actions.
-Good point.
Dragon, do it right.
-[grumbles] [roars] Uh, rule violation.
You can't attack the sheltered princessyet, because of all the shelter.
Grrr! All right, fine.
Rule violation.
I cast lightning at level three, -but that was clearly.
.
.
-Rule violation.
-The dragon.
.
.
-Rule violation.
You can't.
.
.
[all] Rule violation! Rule violation!Rule violation! [roars] -[thudding]-[screaming] Enough of this!You're making this not fun.
Dragon, blast them! [dragon laughs evilly] -Rule violation!-Huh? What? What now? This is a game where you fight a dragon, not a dragon and a dungeon defender.
So this is a rule violationof one of the major rules of this game.
And you know what happens to peoplewho break the major rules.
Noooo! I hate when I don't win! I don't wanna play anymore! [chittering] [all cheering] -We did it!-[cheering and laughter] Uh.
.
.
Wh– What happened? Did I save everyonewith my knightly prowess? Not at all, Ben.
That wasn't impossible.
All it took was some thinkingand memorization.
Yeah.
I almost had a good time.
-Huh?-Almost.
Well, that's nice to hear, because I'm still in chargeof Family Game Night! And I have a few more games I wanna try.
[cheering] [groaning].
