Miniquest is a cooperative game in which players play the role of heroes who have been summoned by the King in a moment of despair. Argo the dragon is back and his armies have invaded the kingdom. Gosu, Jeju, Mana, and Ryu are the King's last hope!
Together heroes will try to stop the assaults of the Dwarves, the Goblins, the One-Eyed Ogres, the Undead, and sometimes Argo himself!
Heroes must defend the regions attacked by Argo's armies by placing their character standee on the card representing the region. Each turn, a player draws a card from the deck to determine which region they must defend. To repel an attack, heroes roll a die and use their special abilities by gaining XP. If they do not defend efficiently, the threat to see the kingdom falling under the claws of Argo will grow…
Argo wins the game if the deck runs out of cards, if the threat is too high, or if he defeats the heroes four or five times.
Heroes win the game if they gain enough prestige to force Argo to abandon the war, but prestige is not easily gained: Only a victory in combat against Argo or his strongest armies will reward the heroes with prestige!
