On Saturday at New York Comic Con, Yen Press announced the acquisition of Monster Eater: Delicious in Dungeon the board game, which will hit shelves in May 2026.
Based on the 1998 Monster Maker board game and themed after the award-winning Delicious in Dungeon series by Ryoko Kui, Monster Eater will allow players to explore dungeons and confront iconic monsters to earn enough victory points to win.
Here’s the full description:
In this collaborative game combining the hit manga Delicious in Dungeon and the work of legendary game designer Ginichiro Suzuki, you and a party of 2–5 of your closest friends can delve the depths of the dungeon together, seeking fame, wealth, power, and more. But beware: Deadly monsters lie in wait—for you to dine on them!
Monster Eater: Delicious in Dungeon will be available in May 2026.
The Delicious in Dungeon manga, originally serialized in Enterbrain’s seinen manga magazine Harta from February 2014 until September 2023, is available in English from Yen Press. The American anime adaptation produced by Trigger has one season now streaming on Netflix, with a second season on the way.
