Description

Thunderstone Quest is a fantasy deck-building game featuring guided quests, dungeon exploration, hero recruitment, and monster battles with replayable setups. Key mechanics include: - *Deck-building* Players start with a basic deck and purchase or upgrade to powerful cards like heroes (wizards, fighters, rogues, clerics) and supplies (weapons, spells, items, light). - *Dungeon exploration* New dungeon tiles create escalating challenges and rewards as players venture deeper. - *Quest-driven play* Pre-set scenarios with story booklets, mini-adventures, specific dungeons, monsters, heroes, and support cards narrate progression. - *Monster deck construction* Combine monster groups with varying susceptibilities to hero types, requiring strategic card choices. - *Replayability* Post-quest random setups using available cards, monsters, heroes, and tiles for varied play. Thunderstone Quest revitalizes the Thunderstone series as a fantasy deck-building game where players recruit heroes, arm parties with weapons, spells, items, and light, then delve into perilous dungeons via innovative tiles that offer new challenges and rewards at greater depths. Structured quests provide narrative-driven play through pre-configured dungeon tiles, monsters, heroes, and support cards, accompanied by mini-adventures and a story booklet tracking progress. The core mechanic involves starting with a basic deck to acquire superior cards, while dungeon decks are built from monster groups differentially vulnerable to hero classes like wizards, fighters, rogues, and clerics—demanding tactical purchases. Completing quests unlocks high replayability through randomized combinations of all components.
