Description

CoraQuest is an exciting and accessible co-operative dungeon crawling game for one to four people, aged six and up.

In CoraQuest the players work together to guide four adventurers exploring a dungeon, avoiding traps, finding treasure, fighting monsters, and sometimes rescuing a gnome called Kevin.

CoraQuest is a game that kids and grown-ups can play together and get equal amounts of fun from. It's also a game that sparks creativity - providing encouragement and guidance on how to create heroes, monsters and adventures to make CoraQuest your own.

All the artwork in CoraQuest is based on kids' drawings, much of it sent in to us from all over the world by the wonderful CoraQuest community. The art has been brought together by our "chief-colourer-in", Gary King, to make a unique and charming-looking game.

  • The people who bought it really enjoyed it were like oh this is very cool and I like this and I'm very proud of the book as well because I think it's a cool rule set and I also think that the layout on it went very well took a long time but I really enjoyed the way that it came out

  • Death Wizards has been out for a month and a couple of days and it has sold more copies than Majestic 13 has which came out 13 months ago
  • it's an indie game made by enemy spotted studios
  • so the games are shorter
  • it is a very highly tactical game
  • players must rely on their widths precise positioning and equipment to win forget about special rules rules in Army building in blackout it's all about raw tactics
  • we're kind of out cuz you talked about our our our game in your video recently and we are out of product now
  • kill team 3.0 better be good the whole obstruction line of sight has God awful

  • it's alternate history kind of Fallout is yes it's the future you know the bombs dropped in 2077 but the reason we got to that point was because the transistor was never invented so it that's that that's why things are different is because it's alternate history which never had clicked with me the entire time I've been playing those damn games
  • I am definitely interested in Fallout tactics
  • it was it was too board gamey for me frankly like that was the problem
  • I'm liking death Wizards a lot I'm currently working on building up some minis so I can play it nice

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • boss_and_end_conditions — Final encounters (e.g., a troll) and gold thresholds determine victory; special items can trigger traps and dramatic outcomes.
  • Cooperative Game — Players work together to explore tiles, defeat monsters, and collect treasure; success depends on teamwork and coordinating actions.
  • cooperative_play — Players work together to explore tiles, defeat monsters, and collect treasure; success depends on teamwork and coordinating actions.
  • Deck Building — Before play begins, a stacked set of quest tiles is created to form the quest deck that drives the adventure.
  • Dice_based_combat — Combat uses red dice for weapon attacks and white dice for modifiers; results determine hits and damage, with determined states granting extra dice.
  • exploration_and_treasure_discovery — Exploring tiles reveals treasure chests, starting equipment, and quest-related cards; exploration can unlock new paths or trigger events.
  • free_actions_vs_full_actions — Characters may perform multiple free actions while each turn grants two full actions; free actions can interrupt and be continued after other actions.
  • inventory_and_gear — Treasure cards and starting equipment provide items for heroes; blank cards allow customization of treasures and quests.
  • Line of Sight — Attacks require an unobstructed line of sight drawn as a straight line between tile corners; obstructions block or hinder attacks.
  • line_of_sight — Attacks require an unobstructed line of sight drawn as a straight line between tile corners; obstructions block or hinder attacks.
  • movement_and_speed — Each character has a speed value dictating how many spaces they may move; certain weapons or abilities affect reach and positioning.
  • threat_track_and_monster_spawns — If players fail to explore, threats advance on a countdown and spiders may spawn; exploring stops or delays this progression.
  • tile_and_quest_deck_construction — Before play begins, a stacked set of quest tiles is created to form the quest deck that drives the adventure.
