About the game

In Quest Snakes, you take on the role of a guild leader tasked to recruit heroic snakes into your ranks. In the first phase of the game, players will take turns hiring pairs of Snakes. Once you have a guild of 10 snakes, you enter the second phase. In the second phase, quests are posted one at a time, offering loot to the strongest guild. Guild leaders will assemble a party of Snakes in secrecy. Once parties are assembled, guilds reveal their snakes. Snakes have power values assigned to them, and the party with the most power wins. But be aware, some classes of Snakes are better equipped for certain quests. And snakes need to rest after the questing - the stronger the Snake, the more turns they rest. The guild with the most loot after a set number of Quests wins! —description from the publisher
