Warhammer Quest is a fantasy dungeon, role-playing adventure board game released by Games Workshop in 1995 as the successor to HeroQuest and Advanced HeroQuest, set in its fictional Warhammer Fantasy world. The game focuses upon a group of warriors who join together to earn their fame and fortune in the darkest depths of the Old World. Games Workshop stopped producing Warhammer Quest in 1998. Game Mainly written by Andy Jones, Warhammer Quest utilizes a set of simple game mechanics to simulate the Warriors' actions as they explore and fight through the dungeons of the Old World. The game puts a strong emphasis on co-operative and thoughtful play by the players in order to survive against the myriad monsters they inevitably face. Primarily designed for four players, the original game continues the tradition of HeroQuest by supplying a Barbarian, Wizard, Dwarf, and Elf as its main Warriors. The game components are a 4-page introductory booklet a 32-page rule book 10 plastic dungeon doorways a 192-page role-playing book a 16-page adventure book 56 plastic bases 91 plastic miniatures 108 playing cards 32 game board sections 58 counters and tokens 4 character cards 50-sheet adventure record pad 18 six-sided dice; game box Treasure The game focuses on the acquisition of vast amounts of treasure, which is divided into two types: Dungeon Room treasure is collected after every group of Dungeon Monsters are killed. Objective Room treasure is sometimes collected once the warriors have killed all monsters within the given objective room or as a reward at the end of the Adventure. Treasure can be sold for gold, which can then be used to pay for training and advancement, as well as buying items essential to survival: healing, a weapon, extra armour, or magical talismans that evoke special abilities. Monsters All of the hostile creatures encountered by Warrior parties are known under the collective name of "Monsters". Almost all Warhammer creatures of the time were included in the Bestiary section of the Roleplay Book. Monsters are broadly divided into the following species: Beastmen Chaos (Warriors and Daemons) Chaos Dwarves Dark Elves Monsters (creatures with no specific affiliation e.g. Gorgons, Ogres, Dragons etc.) Orcs and Goblins Skaven Undead Lizardmen are the only major race not to feature in the game. They were later released as an additional supplement in the Warhammer Quest magazine "Deathblow". The challenge of encounters is related to the current Dungeon level
