About the game
Venture into the dungeon with naught but your wits and your trusty bag! Satchel Quest is a competitive bag-building dungeon adventure in which every draw shapes your fate. Armed with a bag full of double-sided chips, you'll delve into the dungeon, battling enemies, disarming traps, and unlocking treasure chests while earning gold, experience, and valor. In Satchel Quest, players draw double-sided chips, choose which side to play, and place it strategically on the current floor of your dungeon map to attack monsters, block damage, trigger ranged effects, or set up for big combos. Exact placement matters as chips interact with adjacent spaces and can chain together for powerful results. Each round has 6 phases where players build the dungeon, resolve actions, visit the village to heal, upgrade your skills, and buy new chips at the market that expand your strategy. The game ends during the Path Phase when there are no more Path cards to reveal. The player with the most Valor points wins. With multiple adventure paths, asymmetric heroes, and a wealth of clever combos, Satchel Quest combines bag building with a fresh, spatial puzzle twist. —description from the publisher
