Quest for the Orb

Quest for the Orb is a Board Game designed as a first step into fantasy role-playing, with enough chance to make it interesting but enough self-determination to keep it exciting. It can be played alone or by up to five adventurers, keeping track of the health and possessions of the characters in play right on the board. With only a couple of charts to consult, the game is very easy to learn and ready to play within minutes. Players must cooperate as a team to rescue the Orb from the Kingdom of Dark before they run out of food, or get killed by all manner of nasty foes and unfortunate events along the way. The event cards and a pair of dice determine the challenges to be faced; the player(s) determine how to use their set of skills and supplies to best meet those challenges to succeed (or die trying).
