About this board game

Warhammer Quest: Shadows Over Hammerhal is a dungeon adventure game for 2–5 players, with sessions lasting about 120 minutes. Set in and beneath the splendid city of Hammerhal, it sends a band of heroes into catacombs and dungeons to uncover a sinister Chaos plot.

Up to four players take the roles of the questing heroes, while another player becomes the gamemaster. The gamemaster reveals each dungeon’s secrets, sets fiendish obstacles, controls the antagonists, and guides the story as the heroes hunt the Chaos Sorcerer Lord Redomir.

The heroes include Lord-Castellant Arvios Sunhelm, his Gryph-hound Archimaine, Cogsmith Golnir Coalbeard, Loremaster Alnaryn, and Fleetmaster Vizrin Kyre. Their adventures lead through the dangerous outer districts and hidden depths of Hammerhal, where beauty, intrigue, poverty, fortune, and corruption exist side by side.

Between adventures, the party can spend time in the Cinderfall district, visiting shops, resting, and taking part in Hammerhal’s shadowy delights. Characters level up and increase their skills as play continues, while the game also supports the use of Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower Hero Cards, miniatures, and rules.

  • 31 miniatures, including five Putrid Blightkings, ten Kairic Acolytes, and ten Bloodreavers
  • A 72-page guidebook and a 32-page gamemaster adventure book
  • 18 double-sided board sections, 55 cards, 12 dice, counters, and markers

With its guided adventures, evolving heroes, and dedicated gamemaster role, Warhammer Quest: Shadows Over Hammerhal combines exploration, storytelling, and conflict in the catacombs beneath the First City of Order.
