ENEMY A TTACKS
Each attack icon () causes one enemy engaged withthe active hero to attack and each enemy can attackonly once per action
If there are more enemies engaged with the active herothan attack icons rolled some enemies will not attackduring this action Enemies with higher attack valuesare prioritized as attackers before enemies with lowerattack values
When resolving attack icons () the active hero totalsthe attack values from all attacking enemies and suffersthat many wounds (see ldquoSuffering Woundsrdquo on page8) reducing the total number of wounds suffered byone for each shield icon ()

PERIL PHASE
During the peril phase the party increases peril bymoving the peril token one space to the right on theperil track
Aer increasing peril the party resolves any peril effectsthat match the colour of the space on the peril track
where the peril token is placed If the peril token isplaced on a space on the peril track that is not colouredgreen blue or red no peril effect is resolved that phase
If the peril token reaches the end of the track eachtime peril would increase it remains in the same space
However any corresponding effects are still resolved
ENGAGEMENT LIMIT

Aer increasing peril the party resolves any peril effectsthat match the colour of the space on the peril track
where the peril token is placed If the peril token isplaced on a space on the peril track that is not colouredgreen blue or red no peril effect is resolved that phase
If the peril token reaches the end of the track eachtime peril would increase it remains in the same space
However any corresponding effects are still resolved
ENGAGEMENT LIMIT

Aer increasing peril the party resolves any peril effectsthat match the colour of the space on the peril track
where the peril token is placed If the peril token isplaced on a space on the peril track that is not colouredgreen blue or red no peril effect is resolved that phase
If the peril token reaches the end of the track eachtime peril would increase it remains in the same space
However any corresponding effects are still resolved

location card has two spawn values the spawn valueon a red background indicates how many enemiesare spawned following the normal spawn rules (seeldquoSpawning Enemiesrdquo on page 9) e spawn valueon the black background indicates how many enemiesare spawned facedown in the shadows
PERIL PHASE
During the peril phase the party increases peril bymoving the peril token one space to the right on theperil track
Aer increasing peril the party resolves any peril effectsthat match the colour of the space on the peril track
where the peril token is placed If the peril token isplaced on a space on the peril track that is not colouredgreen blue or red no peril effect is resolved that phase
If the peril token reaches the end of the track eachtime peril would increase it remains in the same space
However any corresponding effects are still resolved
ENGAGEMENT LIMIT
A hero cannot be engaged with more than threeenemies at the same time If a hero is engaged withthree enemies and an effect forces a hero to becomeengaged with another enemy that hero suffers anumber of wounds equal to that enemyrsquos attack valueand that enemy is placed faceup in the shadows

Some enemy cards have a resilience valueEach time an enemy with a resilience value would suffer wounds from anattack action that enemy ignores anumber of wounds equal to its resilience value For example if an enemy has a
resilience value of ldquo2rdquo and it would sufferthree wounds it suffers one woundinstead Any effect that causes an enemy to directly suffwounds ignores an enemyrsquos resilience value

Aer increasing peril the party resolves any peril effectsthat match the colour of the space on the peril track
where the peril token is placed If the peril token isplaced on a space on the peril track that is not colouredgreen blue or red no peril effect is resolved that phase
If the peril token reaches the end of the track eachtime peril would increase it remains in the same space
However any corresponding effects are still resolved
ENGAGEMENT LIMIT
A hero cannot be engaged with more than threeenemies at the same time If a hero is engaged withthree enemies and an effect forces a hero to becomeengaged with another enemy that hero suffers anumber of wounds equal to that enemyrsquos attack valueand that enemy is placed faceup in the shadows

resilience value of ldquo2rdquo and it would sufferthree wounds it suffers one woundinstead Any effect that causes an enemy to directly suffwounds ignores an enemyrsquos resilience value

A CHALLENGING A DVENTURE
Warhammer Quest e Adventure Card Game is a cooperative game that is tuned at a high
diffi culty to offer players a wealth of replayabilityIt is common for new players to lose a few questsas they are learning the game and developingtheir skills especially when playing with fewerthan four heroes Winning relies upon players notonly equipping and building their party wiselybut also working together to optimally overcomeeach obstacle
LEARN TO PLAY
Spawning When revealing a newlocation aer travellingthe party must spawnenemies according tothe spawn values onthe location card Each
location card has two spawn values the spawn valueon a red background indicates how many enemiesare spawned following the normal spawn rules (seeldquoSpawning Enemiesrdquo on page 9) e spawn valueon the black background indicates how many enemiesare spawned facedown in the shadows
PERIL PHASE
During the peril phase the party increases peril bymoving the peril token one space to the right on theperil track
Aer increasing peril the party resolves any peril effectsthat match the colour of the space on the peril track
where the peril token is placed If the peril token isplaced on a space on the peril track that is not colouredgreen blue or red no peril effect is resolved that phase
If the peril token reaches the end of the track eachtime peril would increase it remains in the same space
However any corresponding effects are still resolved
ENGAGEMENT LIMIT
A hero cannot be engaged with more than threeenemies at the same time If a hero is engaged withthree enemies and an effect forces a hero to becomeengaged with another enemy that hero suffers anumber of wounds equal to that enemyrsquos attack valueand that enemy is placed faceup in the shadows

R ESILIENCE
Some enemy cards have a resilience valueEach time an enemy with a resilience value would suffer wounds from anattack action that enemy ignores anumber of wounds equal to its resilience value For example if an enemy has a
resilience value of ldquo2rdquo and it would sufferthree wounds it suffers one woundinstead Any effect that causes an enemy to directly suffwounds ignores an enemyrsquos resilience value
T IERS
