Quest for the Trident

Quest for the Trident

2023

2 - 6 players
30 - 60 min

From BoardGameGeek

Quest for the Trident is a quick, exciting game about exploring the dangerous seas to find the powerful Trident of Poseidon! Venture into the unknown. Sink your friend's ships. Control the ever changing seas. Gain exciting powers! Rules Summary: Create the map as you go! Each time you move into a blank space, you flip over a new tile from the deck to fill it. Tiles will have different effects when moving onto them, listed on the tile itself. The goal of the game is to acquire the Trident, and bring it to one of your hideaways to win the game. Every turn, you roll the dice to see how far you are able to move this turn. You can also attack other players and steal their stuff, or try to steal their hideaway. Gaining a hideaway gives you special powers that will help you navigate the seas. At points during the game, you will be able to shift the seas by turning some tiles face down, and swapping them around. This will keep your opponents guessing where the dangers are hiding!
