Dungeons, Dungeons, and More Dungeons is a fantasy role-playing board game created by Ballway Games. Its slogan is: "With pen and paper, shield and sword, our quest shall be our sweet reward!"
History
The board game makes its first appearance in "A Tale of Two Stans," during Ford Pines' flashback on how he came to Gravity Falls, Oregon.
The game is seen again during the episode of the same name. Dipper buys the game, and after discovering his and Ford's mutual love for it, they both get carried away with it. Unfortunately, after Stan accidentally rolls the infinity sided die, the characters of the game are transported to Gravity Falls' dimension and Probabilitor the Annoying tries to eat Dipper and Ford's brains.

Known game editions

- Modern edition
- "Diggity Dungeons & All That" edition
- "Real life" edition (created by Probabilitor)
- Controversial 1991-1992 edition
Appearance
The game comes in a blue box with the title written in large yellow font, except for the words "AND MORE," which are stacked on top of each other and written in a much smaller font in orange. On the cover of the box is Probabilitor the Annoying, Hot Elf on a unicorn, and a large ogre. Under that is an image of three people playing the game. On both the upper and lower sides of the box is written "BALLWAY GAMES" in white next to the symbol of the company.

Trivia
- The game is an obvious reference to Dungeons and Dragons, a role-playing game distributed by Wizards of the Coast. The show takes elements from it such as many-sided dice, and dungeons drawn on graph paper.
- The game has been around for over thirty years.[2]
- The game has its art style changed every few years.[1]
- As seen on the side of the box, the maker of the game is the company Ballway Games, the same company that made the pinball game Tumbleweed Terror.[1][3]
- In the '90s, Ballway Games tried to make the game "cooler" by renaming it "Diggity Dungeons & All That." Probabilitor's name was also changed to Probabilitizzle and his clothes were remodeled into a '90s style look.[1]
- The font of the title used for "Diggity Dungeons & All That" also resembles the title art of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
- The 38 sided die doesn't actually have 38 sides; it has 20. The kind of die used in the episode is an icosahedron, which is a shape made of 20 equilateral triangles. A real 38 sided die would be made of multiple squares, regular hexagons, and irregular hexagons.
- According to Ford, the board game uses a monetary system, "magical dwarf dollars."[1]
- Although the Impossibeast is banned from being used in most editions, it can still be summoned in the controversial 1991-1992 edition.[1]
- It is the most powerful monster in the game, and can only be defeated with the roll of a 38 sided die landing a perfect 38. This means a player only has a 1-in-38 chance of defeating it.[1]
