First look at Companion Quest

About Companion Quest, from BoardGameGeek:

Stibbles and his family of tiny gnomes have BIG trouble on their hands... The mischievous creature, Gu'Gu, is up to no good. Opening portals across the land and causing chaos. These magic doors drop dangerous creatures everywhere they don't belong, and the many locations you'll venture through contain challenges the gnomes must face. This band of unlikely heroes will need to team up with wild Companions along their journey, as well as collect resources and complete Quests with the helpful guidance of the legendary adventurer Stibbles! A long and magical path stands between the gnomes and the troublesome Gu'Gu, venture through the portals, and set things right! Companion Quest is a cooperative game for 1-4 players, who take on the role of gnomes, tasked with preventing Gu'Gu from causing chaos. Players will collect magical Energy Cubes (dice), tasty Snacks (resources), and fantastical Companions (abilities) along the way. Each Companion has unique abilities that allow players to manipulate their dice to overcome the challenges they will face. Complete quests before the Mischief Meter reaches the end of the track and things spiral out of control! -description from the publisher
