About the game
An adventure card game of awful proportions... Step into the pun-ridden realms of Awful Fantasy, where defecating dark lords and boob-faced aliens threaten to bring ruin and general un-comfortableness to the world. Awful Fantasy Adventures is a quick-playing and "self-expanding" cooperative card game. While the game's core components offer an easy-to-learn and fast-pace co-op experience, the included "Adventure Packs" not only expand the game, but modify the rulebook itself. Each player takes control of a ridiculous hero setting off to explore the world of Awful Fantasy and defeat the threats that seek to ruin it. Gameplay is quick and engaging; each player will take their turn by drawing a new threat card and attempting to overcome an existing threat in play. Players will have to overcome specific threats to complete their quest. Once all players complete their quest, the players are victorious! However, if even one hero succumbs to the threats before them, all players are defeated. The "self-expanding" nature of Awful Fantasy Adventures lets players expand and customize their game at their own pace. Each "Adventure Pack" contains new cards and new rules stickers to apply to the pages of the rules, introducing new powers and new dangers to the game. Play until you've mastered the game, and then crack open an adventure pack for fresh challenges and enticing rewards!
