Description
Inferno is a standalone expansion to Arcadia Quest. It is 100% compatible with the original base game and introduces four new Guilds: Sharks, Tigers, Crows, and Serpents. It features new types of heroes, such as Alchemists and Gladiators.
There is a new branching campaign system, and the storyline revolves around the guilds descending into a fiery abyss. There are Brimstone cards that make the terrain risky to navigate, which operate similarly to the Tombstone cards from Arcadia Quest: Beyond the Grave.
A new mechanism called "Damnation" will tempt the heroes with powerful weapons that can corrupt the characters over time or change the behavior of nearby monsters. There are also Angels, which are allied characters for the heroes to rescue, escort or assist. Working with the Angels can affect the branching campaign path system and even allow the player to recruit them for use in later missions.

Quotes (from this video)
- The Expo is basically a small convention there was around 300 people in attendance lots of special guests and several activities
- I don't like to offer opinions and reviews on games that we feature here on the channel but I will say after playing this game pep and I both said okay we need to play this again before the weekend is over and we did
- The monsters in the game are actually six-sided dice
- It was just pandemonium
- This is very much a party game if you want to play it serious I'm sure it loses a lot of its fun but these guys in my opinion were doing it right
- You'll hear some comparisons to bejweled and games like that because you have this contraption with all these marbles in it
- This one has that in Spades as well
- So over the course of the game you're deploying your thugs to shake down businesses for goods to complete jobs and gain influence over various city blocks
- And unsurprisingly it adds pets to the game
- Certainly a game because of the length and well how far apart we live from each other we would not normally get to play and it was fantastic
- Essentially you'll have one player who knows from this grid of 12 suspects who the guilty person is and they will have to give Clues saying yes or no to questions about the suspects however the only thing you have to go by are the looks of the suspects themselves
- Well pretty much everyone talks about when they come back from a convention sure the games are fun and everyone has a good time playing them but one of the things that you really take with you are the memories of the people that you play the games with
- These cons really have become little mini camps for adults
- So a big thanks to him
- And this popcorn stuck around and honestly it was really good still so don't judge us too harshly for eating it

Quotes (from this video)
- The theme of Queens necklace which is actually an older game that we are republishing right isn't Wonder made this game years ago they allowed it to kind of go off store shelves they never came back for a reprint we had the opportunity to publish it again we said sure we touched up the art as you can see it's kind of got this very Pixar a Disney at the heart that we think brings a lot of style to it and that helps kind of bring the theme to life which is that it's France we're working for the French king and queen as rural jewelers right
- it's the least rare so it's wonderful I brought these emeralds but the king of Queen like well look that everyone's got emeralds these days right
- So now that the city is in inferno right you can kind of be corrupted all right or be damned yes by the surroundings which makes you more powerful but can also punish you later
- For every damnation he's the judge every damnation token a character has on them when that cat when he attacks that character he go he rolls +1 attack die / damnation to her damnation

- Can be plugged into Arcadia Quest.
- New weapon types and character abilities offer varied strategies.
- Thematic art style is a contrast to the original.
- Kickstarter campaign planned.
- New miniatures.
Cons
- Slightly higher complexity might be a barrier for new players not familiar with Arcadia Quest.

Thematic elements
- The city of Arcadia is being pulled down into Inferno by an Underlord who has trapped angels. Heroes must fight monsters and face new challenges.
- Inferno (implied to be a darker version of Arcadia)
Comparison games
- Arcadia Quest
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Angel mechanics — Captured angels can be freed by guilds to join their ranks, providing powerful allies but requiring the removal of a current hero.
- Brimstone cards — Cards that players can activate to affect other players, often by exploiting those with damnation tokens.
- Damnation — A mechanic where players can take tokens to gain temporary benefits (like an extra die) but face potential negative consequences later.
- New hero abilities — Characters have more complex abilities, such as Mark not exhausting cards when near allies, or Sybil using death curses for benefits.
- New weapon types — Introduction of weapon types like Chakrams (versatile bow/fist weapons) and Exotic weapons (which can bypass defense).
