Adventurer: Card Game (2007)

About this game

K.R.Bourgoine’s Adventurer is a fast paced fantasy card game, where players assume the role of one of 4 heroes in search of the deadly vampire, Count Lodrac. Take turns to be the first hero to reach the crypt deep within the castle and defeat the Count to win the game. Sound simple? Well it is. Sound fun? You bet it is! The 80 beautifully illustrated cards represent rooms within the castle, magical weapons, dangerous monsters, traps, and those trusty wooden stakes that the heroes must use to destroy the vile Vampire Lord. K.R.Bourgoine’s Adventurer takes about 10-15 minutes to play and is suitable for 1-4 players Ages 8 and up. Players can continue their adventures with a variety of Adventurer Expansion Decks, each available separately.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
