Dungeons & Dragons (influential predecessor)

Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is a pioneering tabletop role-playing game where players create fictional characters and collaboratively embark on imaginary adventures. Using detailed rulebooks, dice, and imagination, players navigate quests involving storytelling, problem-solving, and strategic choices. The game emphasizes creativity, teamwork, and improvisation, with a Dungeon Master guiding the narrative and challenges. Launched in 1974, D&D significantly influenced modern gaming culture, inspiring video games, fantasy literature, and countless other role-playing games.
