5 The Dungeon Before each round begins, each player rolls 2 dice. The player in each pair of opponents with the highest die roll is the starting player. If the tournament is using MK Dungeons tiles, the starting player chooses and places the first tile, then the other player chooses and places the next tile, and so on until all the tiles are placed. If the tournament is using MK Dungeons paper maps, the starting player chooses which map will be used for the dungeon, and the other player with chooses which side of the map will be used for the entire round. Victory Victory in each round is determined by the rules on page17 of the MKD game rulebook, Ending the Game. When 50 minutes have elapsed or all Heroes have left the dungeon or been eliminated, the round ends. At the end of the round, the winner is the player with the highest total of gold successfully carried out of the dungeon. Tie Breakers If two opposing Heroic Teams have the same total of gold successfully carried out of the dungeon when the game ends, or if all Heroes in both Heroic Teams are eliminated, use the following tiebreakers, in the order presented: 1. The player with the Heroic Team that ends the game with the highest total experience levels wins. Example: a Heroic Team that ends the game with a 4thlevel Hero and a 3rd-level Hero wins against a Heroic Team that ends the game with two 3rd -level Heroes. 2. The player whose Heroic Team started the game with the lowest total points wins. Example: a Heroic Team with a starting point total of 100 points wins against a Heroic Team with a starting point total of 120 points. 3. Both players roll two dice; the high result wins.
