Warhammer Quest

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Warhammer Quest is an adventure board game created by Games Workshop and set in the Warhammer Fantasy fictional universe. The core rules allowed players to explore dungeons, which were randomly generated, and fight monsters, also randomly generated. The more advanced and optional rules (192 pp) expanded the game with many elements of role-playing games, including the use of a gamesmaster.

The game was cooperative with the four characters, a Barbarian, Elf, Wizard and Dwarf having to work together to survive.

[edit] Production history

The original Warhammer Quest box set was released in 1995 after Advanced HeroQuest had gone out of production. A number of expansion packs were released for the game. Lair of the Orc Lord added extra Orc models and Orc-themed boards and adventures. Catacombs of Terror added extra Undead models and Undead-themed boards and adventures. Pits and Traps included a number of new board sections and card markers, but was only available through mail order. There were also a number of Warrior Packs, which added new warriors to the game, and Card Packs' which each added 54 new treasure cards to the game. Finally, a number of blank event cards were available.

Extra ideas, scenarios and card floorplans were published in White Dwarf over the two years following release. In addition, Fanatic published 3 issues of "Deathblow", a gaming magazine exclusively focussed on Warhammer Quest. Deathblow introduced new characters, as well as publishing new scenarios and modelling articles.
