Fantasy Quest Initial Play-testing – some thoughts

Fantasy Quest Play-testing Okay, some of this is pretty stream of consciousness, but I need to get it down asap!  Any questions, please ask… Tuesday 12th July – 3 players Note to self – create a cheat sheet for Fantasy Quest!  Played a 3 player game and it was tough going explaining all the rules and various options available each turn – moreso than any other game I’ve taught my friends.  I think the pressure was on because this time it was my own game. We settled on the “quick-start” game variant with no Sagas, no Ancients, and with a... View Article

Fantasy Quest – First Images!

It’s late, I’m tired, and we only just finished sleeving the damned thing – but here are the photos as promised… Fantasy Quest – the ‘board’ setup: Alternate angle, closer: Detail – two heroes set forth from Sprawl City, and already those pesky Doom Guard are up to no good amongst the peaks of Spire Tor: A Half Elf Ranger – Hero’s play area: I hope that’s enough to be going on with for now because I’m bushed! Good night all, ND

Fantasy Quest has landed!

I’ve just printed and cut out 352 cards and their backs too.  My hands and eyes are killing me, my scissors are blunt, and I need to pick up about 400 card sleeves tomorrow!  Couple of minor errors here and there, rules need going over with a fine toothed comb/paint roller, but it’s looking sweeeeet.  Hopefully post some photos once it’s set up for the first game ever…

Fantasy Quest – A Brief Word on Titles

A Word on Titles Titles are the rewards that your hero can gain for having explored the far reaches and climbs of the world of Fantasy Quest.  If you successfully overcome a ‘Place’ encounter (which usually requires a particularly Sneaky character to do so) you may either immediately cash it in for its gold value – if you’re in a hurry for a quick buck – or you may discreetly draw a Reward card from the Titles card deck.  In the competitive game you will keep this card a secret, in the cooperative game you may decide to tell your...

The people you meet in the game will have... View Article
