Warhammer Quest (1995)

Warhammer Quest is a dungeon adventure game set in the Warhammer World. You play the part of a brave Warrior who ventures into dangerous dungeons, creepy caverns, terror-filled tunnels, evil catacombs, or haunted ruins in search of fortune and glory!

Although solo play and 5+ players are also possible, the Warhammer Quest box lists 2-4 players. The game is arguably best played with 4 players, each controlling one of the four main Warriors. The odds of surviving the lower levels are slim to none as the odds heavily favor the denizens of the dungeons.

In the basic rules, the players explore randomly generated dungeons, encounter randomly generated events & battle against randomly generated monsters.

Among other things, the advanced rules allow characters to increase in Battle-Level which increases statistics and offers new skills & abilities. The advanced game also features a 5th player; the Gamemaster, who controls the dungeon layout, events, monsters, etc..

Expansion sets to the main game were available and included new board sections, adventures, new characters, events, treasures, and the like.

WARRIOR PACKS
Boxed Warrior expansion packs were available, which included metal miniatures, reference cards, tokens, and rule booklets for the new character. You could use these expansions to allow 5 or more players, or as a substitute for the original Warriors.

There were also official characters available only through mail order or from White Dwarf magazines (many of these were also published in the old Citadel Journal as well).

3 issues of Deathblow, a magazine dedicated exclusively to Warhammer Quest, was also available and contained new scenarios and adventures, new characters, and many new ideas to incorporate into the game.

EXPANSION SETS
Two official Expansion sets were released in stores. The Orcs & Goblins adventure, Lair of the Orc Lord, and the Undead adventure, Catacombs of Terror, each contained new metal miniatures to represent the villains as well as new thematic Adventures, Events, Treasure, and a full, detailed adventure for a Gamemaster.

Pits & Traps was the only official Expansion set released exclusively through mail order. Pits & Traps included new board sections and markers.

CARD PACKS
Treasure Card Packs were released in 3 sets to shuffle into the main Treasure Cards. Some single treasure cards were only available through White Dwarf magazines.

Also available were Blank Event Card packs for players to customize their adventures.
