From BoardGameGeek
Sharpen your swords and ready your spells because the people of the Darkmoon Vale are in danger and they need your help! Gather up to three friends and explore the mysteries of the vale and uncover the villain behind the sinister forces that threaten to reduce the entire region to a pile of smoldering ash. Pathfinder Quest is a cooperative adventure board game for 1–4 players. Build your character(s) from the ground up by choosing their ancestry, class, and ability cards-or dive right in and play a prebuilt iconic hero! From character creation to combat challenges and exploration, each player's actions matter, with choices that ripple throughout the entire multisession campaign. Designed to bridge the gap between quick, randomized dungeon crawlers and sprawling, prep-heavy delves, Pathfinder Quest offers a full campaign of 12 possible adventures, each lasting approximately 2 hours. With no GM required, an introduction that swiftly teaches the rules as you play, and a rich narrative that rewards teamwork, this game is sure to be a hit whether your group is new to tabletop gaming or seasoned veterans of the adventuring life! Pathfinder Quest includes an Adventure Book (detailing each one of the possible dozen adventures you might experience), a Challenge Book (containing the hidden outcomes for many of your choices), map tiles, custom dice, hundreds of cards, monster pawns, and select miniatures as well! -description from the publisher Pathfinder Quest: Endless Adventure Mode uses the creatures, map tiles, and components within Pathfinder Quest's box to generate random encounters and challenges. Don't have time for a full session? Roll up some encounters and dive right in!
