Adventure Realms

About this board game

Adventure Realms is a worker placement and deck-building game for 2–4 players, with sessions lasting about 90 minutes. Set in the Kingdom of Arcadia, it challenges players to recruit heroes, gain influence within the guilds, and race through a dungeon to destroy the Demon King, Blasphemy.

After the last Dark Moon, Blasphemy stole the four Elemental Stones and gained the power to destroy the kingdom. Players take the role of brave leaders, assembling a team of heroes and gathering the strength needed to confront this threat.

On each turn, play one hero card and place an agent in an Agent Space to gain its specific reward. The hero card also provides resources or abilities for that turn, combining worker placement decisions with the evolving options of a deck-building game.

• Recruit new heroes and build your deck.
• Gain power within the guilds.
• Collect Journey Flags to advance through the dungeon.
• Use elemental stones to enhance certain items and heroes.
• Complete quests by meeting their requirements.

Once everyone has passed, the dungeon phase begins. Magic cards can be played to boost dungeon levels, helping players overcome a stalled position and gain the lead. The player who has traveled farthest receives the first-player rewards.

The game ends when a player reaches 10 victory points or the dungeon deck runs out. Elemental stones can also provide extra end-game victory points, adding another reason to pursue them. With beautiful 16-bit graphics by FinalBossBlues and graphic design by Pete Jank, Adventure Realms evokes classic Super Nintendo adventures such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.
