Black Dungeon dice are rolled for various dungeon effects
Green Poison and Purple Curse dice may also be in your pool of dice if you suffer these effects
Turn
On your turn, flip over a room and resolve it
After which, reveal the room to the right and the room below your current position, you can then choose which of these two to move to (Up/Left/Diagonal moves are not allowed, even if you can see a faceup card there)
