The Jade Abbey, home of the life-giving Everspring, is under threat from Gelgus Pust and his followers. A ragtag band of heroes and sellswords are committed to preventing this tragedy from occurring in Warhammer Quest: Darkwater. This brand new Warhammer Quest game can be played solo or with up to three friends, and is designed to support one-off skirmishes or longer campaigns that are eminently replayable.
This box includes 49 highly detailed, push fit miniatures – the band of seven heroes (and the spirit Wisper), plus villains Gelgus Pust, Belga the Cystwitch, Mulgoth the Cleaver, and Shaman Foulhoof. There is also a horde of enemies that comprises two Cankerborn, three Blight Templars, eight Pestigors, 14 Pox-Wretches, six Mire Kelpies, and four tokens.
A lay-flat map book provides the maps for your adventure, with missions decided by encounter cards and boss encounter cards split across three different acts, and supplemented by event cards. The box also contains the other paraphernalia you need to play the game, including hero and enemy cards, all the reward cards you can earn, two boards of tokens, dice, and boxes for collecting your cards and tokens if you want to pause your campaign between sessions.
A quick start guide sheet gets you to the table in minutes so you can easily show the game to friends and family, and a 36-page rulebook teaches you how to play and introduces both skirmish and campaign modes.
Evil is festering amid the ruins of the Jade Abbey. The daemonic warlord Gelgus Pust seeks to poison the wondrous fount of life-giving water known as the Everspring, which lies beneath the ruined stronghold. Magically imbued with restorative properties, the Everspring grants vitality to the surrounding lands. Yet Pust would see it befouled with the toxic gifts of his master – Nurgle, Lord of Plagues. Only an ill-matched band of heroes and sellswords stands between the Prince of Sores and his final victory. To reach him, they must navigate a landscape that has been moulded and twisted according to Nurgle’s vile whims.
In Warhammer Quest: Darkwater, you and up to three friends take on the role of disparate heroes seeking to purify the corrupted Jade Abbey. Only by working together and balancing your strengths and skills can you hope to survive. With each journey, you will uncover the devious plans of the daemonic Prince of Sores. Your missions will take you to dangerous locations full of peril. Still, along the way you'll gain experience and loot that will aid your quest as you go, allowing you to eventually take on the strongest enemies – like Gelgus Pust himself.
This cooperative board game is quick, satisfying, and easy to learn, yet offers enough compelling choices and growing complexity to challenge even experienced gamers. The lay flat map book means that you can set up in as little as five minutes, allowing you to dive straight into the action. Each hero offers different skills and abilities, and randomly drawn quest cards ensure no two games are the same.
