Description
In the wonderful land of Arkadia, a very old king has no heir. He organizes a tournament to offer his throne to the bravest adventurer of the kingdom. Up to five finalists will wander seven worlds full of surprises...
In the drawing game Loony Quest, players study challenging level cards, then try to replicate the outline to meet targets and avoid obstacles on their tracing sheets. Once finished, players place their sheets on top of the level card to see whether the drawings line up with the targets they meant to hit — or avoid. Largely inspired by video games, Loony Quest players discover various worlds, play with 3D and 2D levels, run into loony monsters — Loonies — and big bosses, trigger special stages, collect bonuses, use penalties on opponents, and gather as many Xperience points as possible to win.
Loony Quest features the same basic gameplay as in Doodle Quest, but has been developed differently by the publisher.

Quotes (from this video)
- With hundreds of board games being released each year many board games often slip under the radar or have been purchased and left in a cupboard still in their shrink wrap to gather dust or even worse to not have even seen a single play before being traded off or shipped off to somebody else.
- In this new video series I attempt to brush off the cobwebs blow off the dust and go in search of five board games that you may have forgotten about or you might not have even heard of.
- It's by an Australian designer and I really love supporting Australian board game designers.
