Quest for the Faysylwood (1993)

About this game

Players each take on the role of one of the 8 available characters: knight, dwarf, elf, thief, magician, sorceress, ranger, or cleric. Each has their own physical and magical combat ratings along with special abilities. The object of the game is to be the first player to complete their quest by clearing five terrain cards. Along the way players will fight monsters, gain followers and useful items, and deal with whatever hazards the other players heap upon them.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
