What to Expect
At the Embermoot in Jorekburg you simultaneously refine your hand, search for numbered cards and build an ascending sequence that tells your hero’s story. Play is real-time: draw, discard and swap with neighbors while trying to maximize reputation stars. Games take about 15 minutes and emphasize speed, observation and hand management in a storytelling context.
Who Is This Game For?
Questline suits experienced families and hobby players aged 14 and up. With 1–6 players and a 15-minute playtime it works as a quick filler or a short main game. Familiarity with real-time or drafting mechanics helps but is not strictly required.
How It Works
Core mechanics are Hand Management, Open Drafting, Ordering and Real-Time play. Players simultaneously draw, discard and exchange cards, aiming to form an ascending Card Line that gains reputation stars. Discards are face-up and can be taken by neighbors; cards can also be drawn from face-down decks. Once ready, players remove their discards and claim an epilogue before revealing their questline and scoring.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Marc-André Lavoie and Martin Lavoie, Questline blends Real-Time with Storytelling in the established World of Ulos. The open discard and direct neighbor interactions set it apart from typical simultaneous card games.
