Quest Adventure Cards(tm) — 2nd Edition

Thu, 10/10/2019 - 23:23 — questccg

Starting from a philosophical viewpoint, I guess the real question is: What do I want the Second (2nd) Edition of "Quest" to be like?!

Contrary to most of today's Collectible Card Games which are ALWAYS about "Battling", "Quest" is a more subtle game.

It's not about A BATTLE, it's about AN ADVENTURE!

Like Magic: the Gathering (Magic) there are colors that define the ORIGINAL Card Game. Familiar colors of Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple. Both Primary and Secondary colors of the normal color spectrum. Of course even in the original game, each color had a meaning.

Heroes & Treasure: Arena -- card game rules

Heroes & Treasure Arena, Heal Spell.png

This is a combat card game in the style of M:tG / Pokemon / etc., but aimed at ages 6 and up (basic readers). This is obviously not final.. I'm using this to organize stuff that needs to be organized.

The overall plot idea is that, within my Heroes & Treasure world, there's an event like the Olympics, where teams come and compete across species/enemy lines.

Every seven years, the tribes of Goblins hold a grand combat tournament, where generals face off against each other one on one, bringing in creatures and spells to defeat their opponent.

Ravenhall's Town Crier #9

Tue, 10/01/2019 - 14:37 — MAR

Here is the new prototype for the Town Crier. Clearly, it is not complete, but it's a good preview of the new format. We've been a bit busy with the kickstarter campaign, making the game with the manufacturer, and working on the website, but at least we got a bit of a preview done. (It's not on our website because it's under construction). Check it out!
