In Quest, you play as knights of the Round Table, each assigned a unique quest. You move across the board encountering fantastic beasts, collecting magic items, and competing in jousts. Once a player completes their quest and returns to the round table, a ten-turn countdown begins for others to finish. Only knights present in Camelot after this period have a chance to win, based on the number of completed feats of arms.
Who Is This Game For?
Quest suits players interested in classic fantasy themes and medieval settings. It is a medium complexity game lasting about 45 minutes, making it accessible for experienced board gamers but less suited for complete beginners or families with young children.
How It Works
The core mechanic is area movement, where players maneuver their knights on the board to complete quests. Players encounter creatures and joust with each other as they race to fulfill their assigned missions. After one player finishes, others have ten rounds to catch up. The winner is the knight with the most feats of arms completed.
