About this game

Wander a fantasy realm as an adventurer, fighting monsters, completing quests, and leveling up your character through skill cards and equipment. The third edition replaces dice with combat tokens that you throw like coins, creating a unique physical randomness. Scenario cards define the overarching threat, from dragon lords to undead plagues, giving each game a different narrative arc. Between quests, visit towns to heal, shop, and train. An open-world adventure game that captures RPG exploration in a competitive board game format.
