‘Heroes of Terrinoth’ is Now Available from Fantasy Flight Games

Fantasy Flight Games has released their reimagining of the card game Warhammer Quest, with the new title Heroes of Terrinoth. In the game, players will attempt to defeat baddies and derail villainous plots while cooperating together with the other players’ heroes to tear down the evildoers. Heroes of Terrinoth is for one to four players, ages 14+, plays in around 30 minutes to an hour, and carries an MSRP of $39.95.

From FFG:

Terrinoth is in peril and now the realm looks to you for a savior in Heroes of Terrinoth! The restless dead rise in the Mistlands, the Bloodguard sow discord in the Free Cities, and even the Land of Steel is no longer safe as tales of marauding goblins travel along the roads. You must step into the shoes of a hero and journey into the darkest dungeons and caverns, seeking out the dangers that threaten Terrinoth and casting them down. And if you happen to get rich along the way… well, what’s the harm in that?

In this cooperative card game of questing and adventure, one to four players choose from an array of twelve distinct heroes, spread across four possible archetypes: healer, warrior, mage, and scout. Each hero has a special ability reflecting the skills and talents they’ve learned along the way, and as you gain more experience through your quests, you’ll have the chance to grow from a fledgling student to a true master of your art and specialize in different classes. 

Once you set out on your quest, your game progresses in four phases every round: Hero Phase, Enemy Phase, Peril Phase, and Travel Phase. During the Hero Phase your team uses Activation cards to perform actions—holding off enemies, aiding your allies, or forwarding the objective by exploring the territory. Then, your antagonists advance and get their chance to strike back during the Enemy Phase.The strain of your mission will inevitably take its toll during the Peril Phase. And finally, if you have plumbed the depths of the current area, you can advance to a new location during the Travel Phase. No matter where you go, danger lurks just out of sight in the shadows, but if you can balance your strengths and face the darkness together, the adventure of a lifetime awaits!

A New Tale Begins. Terrinoth needs heroes. The powers of darkness have taken hold of the realm, and only the bravest champions can restore peace. Do you have what it takes? Assemble your team, stand fast against the darkness, and embark on an adventure worthy of song!
