Battle ferocious monsters, master arcane spells, and undertake epic quests in this adaptation of the seminal RPG Progress Quest. Gameplay has been streamlined to eliminate the tedium of keeping track of attribute stats, armor classes, gold, etc., while remaining as true as possible to the original.
Special Rules
Levels
Every player begins at Level 1. When a player has an amount of Experience equal to their Level, their Level increases by one and their Experience resets to zero.
Equipment, Quests, and Spells
Every player may control a maximum of one of each type of Equipment (Weapon, Weapon Mod, Shield, and Shield Mod) and one Quest.
A player may only play a Spell or Equipment card if they have gained a level during their current or last turn, or if another card instructs them to.
If a player has no Weapon card, their weapon is a Sharp Stick with strength 1. Sharp Sticks may not take Weapon Mods.
Characters and Monsters
At the beginning of the game, search the deck for a Character card and put it into play under your control; it is an indestructible Thing. The other Character cards can be played in the same way as Monster cards. The numbers in a Monster or Character card's cornervalue are the Weapon and Shield strengths, respectively, required to play that card.
Finding Cards
When a player is instructed to "find" a card of a given type, they must draw cards until they draw one of that type, reveal the others, and shuffle them back into the draw pile.
