Dungeons & Dragons (often abbreviated as D&D) is a fantasy role-playing game that was first published in 1974 by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. The game is set in a fantasy world filled with magic, monsters, and adventure, and players take on the role of characters such as warriors, wizards, or rogues as they embark on quests and battles.

D&D is played using rulebooks that outline the game's mechanics, character creation guidelines, and information on the various creatures and locations that players may encounter. The game is typically played with a group of players led by a Dungeon Master, who acts as the narrator, storyteller, and referee for the game.

Players navigate through a series of adventures, using dice rolls to determine the outcomes of their actions, combat encounters, and skill checks. As players progress, their characters gain experience points, leveling up and becoming more powerful.

D&D encourages creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving as players work together to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. The game has inspired numerous spin-off products, video games, novels, and other media, and remains a popular pastime for gamers of all ages.
