About this board game

Thunderstone Quest is a fantasy deck-building game for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 90 minutes. Recruit heroes, equip your party, and venture into the dungeon as you pursue a series of story-driven quests.

Each player begins with a basic deck of cards. Use it to purchase or upgrade more powerful cards, gradually shaping a party suited to the dangers ahead. Heroes include wizards, fighters, rogues, and clerics, while support cards provide weapons, spells, items, and the light needed to reach farther into the dungeon.

The game’s scenario mode presents a specific story through pre-set dungeon tiles, monsters, heroes, and support cards. Every quest introduces new dungeons and side adventures, while a story booklet describes what happens as players progress through the scenarios.

  • Deck building: Improve a basic deck with stronger heroes and useful supplies.
  • Dungeon exploration: Use all-new dungeon tiles to face different challenges and discover rewards.
  • Monster groups: Build the dungeon deck by combining several groups of monsters.
  • Strategic recruitment: Consider which hero types are best suited to the monsters you may encounter.

After completing the quests, Thunderstone Quest offers replayability through its selection of monsters, heroes, support cards, and dungeon tiles. Choose random setups before play to create fresh combinations and new deck-building decisions beyond the story scenarios.
