Thunderstone Quest: Barricades Mode

Expansion For Thunderstone Quest Barricades Mode, an expansion for Thunderstone Quest, lets you play a solo or co-operative adventure against the toughest Guardians in the game. Thunderstone Quest is a deckbuilding game where 2-4 players (or 1-6 players in Barricades Mode) compete to see who can score the most victory points when the game ends. In deckbuilding games your objective is to try to assemble the best possible deck to achieve the play strategy you prefer based on the options that are assembled for each game, and the random challenges you’ll need to overcome. Each player’s deck represents a party of stalwart adventurers who will face and defeat the challenges of the Dungeon and will return to the Village to recover and re-equip. On each turn you use your deck to generate a hand of cards, and you take actions based on the cards you drew. Sometimes you’ll be in the Village buying new cards and using your resources. Sometimes you’ll be in the Dungeon fighting monsters. And sometimes you’ll do a little bit of both! In Thunderstone Quest you’ll be playing an adventure which is comprised of a set of Dungeon tiles and a selection of monsters, treasures, and challenges that are themed to that Dungeon. You’ll get the sense of a dramatic campaign as you grow stronger and finally confront the Guardian. Depending on which cards you buy and which adversaries you defeat you will earn victory points. After the Guardian encounter is over, the player with the most victory points is the winner! The competitive mode is designed for 2 to 4 people (up to 6 people with To The Barricades content!) to play and it takes about 90 minutes to complete an Adventure. Barricades mode is designed for 1 to 6 people to play and will also take about 90 minutes to complete an Adventure.
