An easy to learn, fast-paced beating card game where you’ll use powerful weapons and items to defeat your enemies.
The Adventure Quest Card Game is a “Beating Card Game”, meaning that each turn you have to play cards that match or overcome the last played card. There are 75 weapon cards in the deck, that each player has to use to beat other players. There’s also a set of special items with unique effects that players can use strategically to alter the course of the play.
The goal of the game is to be the first one to beat all your enemies using your secret loot cards, or at least not be the last man standing. Each weapon card is numbered according to its power, and each turn, the player has to play cards that at least match the power value of the last card played by an opponent.
Seems, pretty simple, but the game is not just that. The interesting part of this game are the “Loot Stacks”.
The Adventure Quest Card Game is our first game to be launched as creators, but has a whole lot of story behind. When the creator Miguel (A.K.A. Kopo) was still in college, 11 years ago, he and a few friends started adding and modifying rules to an existing local card game that used Spanish Playing Cards. That is the origin of the first version of The Adventure Quest Card Game.
Over the last 11 years, a lot of rules were added or modified, we brought the game to a standard and balanced rule set, and we played.
Oh boy we played… We’ve played in class recess; we played when having breaks studying for our finals; we played with our family and our friends, and they liked it! The game started to spread. It was played in Canada, Germany, France, where it was taught by our family and friends, to people from many other countries.
The game is now still easy to learn, and it has a bunch of special cards for balance and varied game mechanics. Many of the people introduced to it have loved it, and we love that the seed that grew into this actual game has had such acceptance.
With the current version of the game, we’ve noticed that the game is perfect for introducing people with small relation to more complex card and board games into play, and being fast rounds, it’s also perfect to be played in small breaks and bringing it everywhere.
Made with love from Spain.
