Venture Forth

About this board game

Venture Forth is a fantasy adventure board game for 2–4 players, with an approximate play time of 75 minutes. Each player guides a party of adventurers through a world shaped by personal quests, dangerous enemies, valuable treasure, and new companions.

Every adventurer has a personal ambition. Achieving that ambition lets you convert the adventurer’s will into points and may also allow that character to level up. Since every ambition requires the party to venture forth, planning when and where to travel is central to the game.

Players populate paths by playing enemy and adventurer cards onto their spaces. When a path is completely filled, any player can choose to venture forth along it, encountering its cards one by one. These encounters may let you recruit adventurers, defeat enemies, or gain treasure as your party advances.

• Party development: Recruit new companions and pursue each adventurer’s personal ambition.
• Path planning: Play cards to build routes through the fantasy world.
• Timed ventures: Choose when to travel down a completed path and resolve its encounters.
• Resource management: Balance your party’s needs while seeking points and possible level-ups.

Success in Venture Forth depends on combining resource management, path planning, and timing. Populate the world with opportunities and threats, then decide which completed path offers the right sequence of encounters for your party’s goals.

Released in 2012, Venture Forth challenges players to guide ordinary souls toward extraordinary dreams while turning each journey into a carefully chosen adventure.
