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

  1. At the start of each round you hire one new team member: from your hand, from the market or blind from the draw pile.
  2. Build a team whose skills and noise levels fit together.
  3. 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.
