About the game
For the Quest is a dungeon crawler game for 1-5 players aged 10+. In it, a group of four Heroes assist the wise Benor against the terrible forces of Nokron, the Lord of Shadows. These Adventurers will seek to repeat the feat of the past and undertake various missions to weaken the power of Nokron, which will do everything to not be overwhelmed as it was in the past. The game is played in rounds, with each hero taking two actions per turn. Actions include searching rooms, using itens and using attacks to fight monsters. Then, Nokron gets to act and send its minions to fight the heroes. Using a mix of old and new game mechanics, For The Quest is a homage for its -Quest like predecessors. There are three ways to play FOR THE QUEST Solo Hero: A player controls the group of four Heroes through the dungeon, facing the events that arise in each of the rooms according to the Quest Manual. Group of Heroes: two to four players take on one Hero each, facing the events that arise in each of the rooms according to the Quest Manual. Nokron, Lord of Shadows: Finally, the third form is with one of the players playing the role of Nokron, Lord of Shadows, while the others assume the role of Heroes. Nokron will seek to control its army of creatures and all sorts of traps and powers against the Heroes, seeking to prevent them from succeeding in their missions.
