Level
Special
Each Player is, at any given time, on a Dungeon Level - a number between one and ten. This should be noted on paper, or with counters, or somesuch. They are considered to share that Level with any Monsters their opponent controls.
Monsters on Level
Special
If a card says "Play only on Level X", a Player can only play it if they are on Dungeon Level X. If it says "Play only onto Level X" (for Monsters, typically), it can only be played if their Opponent is on Dungeon Level X.
Combat
Special
A Player may, as an Action, declare Combat. During Combat, a Player may discard any number of Monster cards from their hand, to represent the power of their attack. The Strength of each discarded card is considered to be a Strike against a chosen Monster in play - if the total of Strikes against a Monster exceed that Monster's Strength, it is destroyed.
Stairs
Special
If a Player faces no Monsters (that is, their Opponent controls no Monsters) they may - as an Action - go up or down a Staircase, incrementing or decrementing their Dungeon Level accordingly. Players may not go down from Level Ten.
