This fantasy themed deck builder has a lot going on between the village, dungeon and the very generous array of cards you have access to for set up. Heroes have three levels and can be upgraded. I think this is really refreshing and I love the fact that they are essentially encouraging you to make the game your own. They are also very clear upfront that they want you to play this game your way. In fact, they include a number of variations in the rule book. Gameplay: Thunderstone Quest is a satisfying mix of dungeon crawling and deck building, with high replay valueīefore I get into the detail here about how the game plays, I think its important to recognise that Thunderstone Quest encourages players to experiment and tailor the game to their tastes. If that wasn’t enough there is a concept of guild sponsorships which provide bonuses which favour certain hero types. There are also some interesting side quests which can spice things up a bit once you are ready to try something new.
There are multiple quests included in the quest book, each with three adventures, which progressively introduce new packs of cards to explore. This is also the only turn where you have the opportunity to battle the mighty Thunderstone Guardian which can yield a good points haul if you succeed. After four guardian keys the players have one final round to collect as many points as possible. The end game is triggered as players defeat monsters and discover guardian keys. The Guilds Quarter – Enables you to level up two heroes instead of one in your turn.Shop of Arcane Wonders – Allows you to purchase a random treasure card and receive the associated reward.The Bazaar – Enables you to purchase gear tokens that you can use to aid you later to improve your health, grant extra light or extra gold.The Temple – Enables you to heal an extra wound.You will be able to perform additional actions dependant on the village location you are in.

Regardless of the village location you will always be able to heal one wound, spend experience points to upgrade one hero and purchase one card from the marketplace. You will then choose a village location to visit, each enabling additional activities to be performed. If you instead choose to visit the village you will reveal your cards and total any gold you have in your hand. The market place set up with weapons, spells and items. Your goal is to rack up the most points by the end of the game to win. Light is your friend here and lets you delve further into the dungeon to fight more powerful foes and earn more tasty rewards. In Thunderstone Quest you play the role of a mighty champion recruiting heroes to your band, casting spells and using powerful weapons to battle monsters through a dark dungeon. Collect the most points to win Thunderstone Quest Thunderstone Quest promised a more polished version of the game, with multiple improvements, was it enough though? Overview: Lead your band of heroes through dungeons. We also didn’t really like the way the monsters appeared in the dungeon, there was only one deck and so the difficulty between monsters in each part of the three dungeon levels was quite random. It was a pain collecting monsters in your deck once they were defeated, it kind of felt like it undid all your hard work building an effective deck. We thought it had potential but there were a few things that really frustrated us.
#ARCANE QUEST 3 REVIEW SERIES#
We first got a taste of the Thunderstone series by trying out Thunderstone Advance a few years ago. The unique combination of dungeon crawling and deck building, appealed to us and we were hoping it would be a unique and fun addition to our collection of great deck building games. My son and I are huge fans of deck building games so we were keen to give this fantasy adventure themed game a try.
Thunderstone Quest is a competitive deck building game designed by Mike Elliot and published by Alderac Entertainment Group (AEG).
