About this board game
Warhammer Quest: Darkwater is a cooperative dungeon crawler for 1–4 players, with a listed play time of 60 minutes, set in the Mortal Realms of the Age of Sigmar.
Deep in the verdant wilds of Ghyran, the Daemon Prince Gelgus Pust has claimed the ruins of the Jade Abbey. His corruption threatens the Everspring, a bountiful well of life energy linked to Alarielle the Everqueen. Only a determined and diverse group of heroes can enter the abbey’s labyrinth and stop the spreading evil.
Choose your heroes, open the 38-page lay-flat map book to the scenario you are playing, and prepare for battle with miniatures, cards, and dice. The game is designed to be quick to learn and easy to play, with bite-sized 30-minute skirmishes that make it simple to bring friends and family into another session.
For a more substantial experience, play through the full campaign as a three-act adventure across the infested ruins. A complete story takes around 10–14 hours over multiple days or a single marathon session.
- Cooperative play for one to four players
- Scenario-based dungeon crawling with miniatures, cards, dice, and a map book
- Campaigns that unlock new heroes and rewards
- Replayable adventures with changing heroes, encounters, events, and loot
Victory is never guaranteed, but defeat is not the end. Because each campaign uses only part of the available cards, every playthrough of Warhammer Quest: Darkwater can deliver a different combination of challenges and discoveries before the final confrontation with Gelgus Pust.
