Adventurers Required*
Adventurers Required is a quick, beginner-friendly card game by Bethany Linder from Lookout Games, for ages 10+ in 15 to 30 minutes. As the HR manager of a guild, you assemble a team of sneaky adventurers to tiptoe into a sleeping wizard's tower and snatch his treasures – as long as nobody makes too much noise. Produced eco-friendly as part of Lookout's GreenLine.
What's it about?
Every adventurer has strengths but also a noise rating. If your team gets too loud, the wizard wakes up – and that would be very bad. With the right partner, though, even the loudest can be silent as a shadow.
How it plays
- At the start of each round you hire one new team member: from your hand, from the market or blind from the draw pile.
- Build a team whose skills and noise levels fit together.
- Send them into the tower and leave with your haul.
After just five rounds, the player with the most treasure wins.
What makes it special?
It blends set collection with a dash of push-your-luck: how much noise dare your team make? Combinations of adventurers, from bard to druid, keep games varied.
Who is it for?
Families, casual players and groups looking for a short filler card game.
