Quester’s Keep is a board game for 1 to 6 players. At the beginning of the game, each player selects a character and is given 3 secret quest cards. The board is made up of hex-shaped tiles and the game starts at the Keep tile which is surrounded by 6 randomly chosen land tiles. Each land has the name of a location on it and players are looking for the ones that match their quest cards.
On each player’s turn, they can move from one tile to an adjacent tile and draw a random land tile if none exists in the direction they wish to move. Then they draw a wild encounter card and resolve it. Defeated wild encounters can be traded at the Keep for treasure or character improvements from the Keep’s marketplace.
A player that moves on to a land tile with a location that matches one of their secret quest cards can reveal the card to draw from the quest encounter deck instead of the wild encounter deck. If they defeat the encounter they have completed the quest, collect the treasure, and place the quest card face up in their player area so everyone can see how many quests they have completed. However, if they fail or flee the quest a red marker is placed on that location and the quest is now considered an open quest for any player to attempt.
Only treasure that is safely deposited at the keep counts towards victory so you have to get it back to the keep safely. Once someone has completed three quests a 6 round endgame counter is started. At the end of the 6th round, each player’s banked treasure at the keep is counted and the player with the most treasure wins.
Exploration – You will start the game in the land that immediately surrounds the Keep. In order to progress, you will need to venture beyond the only home that you have known, placing new land tiles along the way. There is no telling what the world will look like by the time you are done playing.
Character Development – Along the way, you will experience wild encounters that will enable you to trade hides and bounty for treasure at the Keep, treasures that will help you build up your character in order to be ready for whatever comes next.
Engaging Combat – You must face your enemies in combat, rolling a series of dice in order to determine your success. Will you be the victor? Will you fall upon your enemy’s blade? Choose your battles wisely.
Survival – Even if your defeat your quest, you still have to make it back to the keep with your treasure. Will you be able to survive the wild encounters in your weakened condition all the way home, or will a friendly farmer give you safe passage back to the keep in his wagon?
Suspense – In Quester’s Keep, the suspense doesn’t die down but reaches peak excitement just as you are about to finish. Quester’s Keep pushes you to bank as much treasure as you can, to never stop and never give up. If you can make it back to the Keep before the endgame timer runs out, stashing away the little piece that will push you over the top, you could come out with a happy ending in this fantastical world.
