Riot Quest is a fast-moving and hilariously unpredictable arena board game for two to four players using hobby miniatures. Players assemble a crew of 5–10 Heroes and an equal number of Riot Gear cards to compete with up to three other players in a chaotic battle to score treasure and rack up victory points in post-apocalyptic Iron Kingdoms landmarks.
Here are ten irrefutable reasons that Riot Quest deserves a place at your game table:
- Riot Quest only takes a few minutes to learn. If you’ve got a little more time, here’s our full online tutorial.
And you can check out the rulebook here. - Kids love it! Riot Quest is fun for the whole family, is simple enough for young kids to play while still offering great strategic-depth-of-play, and is one of the few hobby miniatures games that can be played with up to four people.
- An average game of Riot Quest, even with four players, takes about 45 minutes.
- The $50 starter gets you all the models, dice, tokens, cards, rulebook, and map one player needs to start treasure looting!
- You can play with just five miniatures, but a full crew is only ten minis, so you’ll be able to paint all your models in a single lifetime!
- The low model count makes Riot Quest a great “first miniatures game” to introduce to friends and family who aren’t sure about taking the plunge into hobby miniatures.
- The unpredictable nature of the game means everyone has a chance to win.
- In Riot Quest, your heroes might get knocked out, but then respawn, so you can never get eliminated from the game and it ain’t over ’til it’s over!
- Bumbles (Awww)
- Riot Quest comes in brightly colored packaging…uh, so you can’t miss it. (Okay, we’re reaching for this last one.)
