Overview

Side Quest is a dungeon crawling card game that fits in your pocket. With a single deck of cards and a couple of dice you and up to 3 friends can battle your way through a decision-packed dungeon. Fight monsters, grab loot and rescue maidens as you gear up your characters to fight the boss at the end of the dungeon. Side Quest is a fully co-operative game - if any Heroes (or maidens!) die, the game is lost. There are a wide range of scenarios to play, including ultra-tough single-player missions, challenging 30 minute pick-up games and lengthy 2 hour dungeon treks. With loads of different Heroes, Monsters and Equipment cards you'll never play the same game twice. Plan together, fight together, win together!
