Warhammer Quest: Cursed City

Description

Survive the Night in Warhammer Quest: Cursed City

Warhammer Quest: Cursed City is a cooperative dungeon-crawling board game for 1–4 players set in the dark, gothic reaches of the Age of Sigmar universe. Players must work together to liberate the city of Ulfenkarn from the tyrannical grasp of Radukar the Wolf and his undead court. This standalone boxed set offers a deep narrative campaign filled with danger, discovery, and tactical combat.

The core box is a treasure trove for hobbyists and gamers alike, containing 60 highly detailed push-fit miniatures. These plastic models are designed for easy assembly and do not require glue, making it accessible for those new to the hobby while maintaining the incredible quality expected from Games Workshop. Whether you are playing the campaign or using the models for other tabletop games, the variety in this set is unmatched.

The Heroes and Villains of Ulfenkarn

To succeed in your quest, you must choose from 8 unique playable heroes, each bringing specialized skills and weapons to the party. The roster includes the stalwart Emelda Braskov, the mysterious Jelsen Darrock, Dagnai Holdenstock, Qulathis the Exile, Glaurio ven Alten III, Octren Glimscry, Cleona Zeitengale, and the hulking Brutogg Corpse-Eater. Each hero has a specific role, from ranged support to front-line tanking.

Standing in your way are 5 named villains and a horde of 37 hostile minions. You will face the following threats during your journey:

• The Masters: Radukar the Wolf, Torgillius the Chamberlain, Watch Captain Halgrim, Gorslav the Gravekeeper, and the terrifying Vargskyr.
• The Undead Horde: 10 Deadwalker Zombies, 10 Ulfenwatch skeletons, 6 Corpse Rats, and 6 Bat Swarms.
• Elite Guard: 3 Vyrkos Blood-born and 2 massive Kosargi Nightguard.
• Atmospheric Objects: 10 mysterious objective markers including Gravestones, Crows, and Gibbets to enhance the board’s theme.

Immersive Gaming Components and Mechanics

The game utilizes a modular board system consisting of 20 game board tiles, plus specialized zones like the Drop Zone and Extraction Zone. This ensures that no two journeys into the city feel exactly the same. The campaign is managed through an extensive collection of 138 cards, including encounter decks, discovery cards for loot, and initiative tracking cards to determine the turn order in the heat of battle.

Precision and luck are handled by a set of 28 custom dice, including D6s, D8s, and D12s. To keep the mystery alive, the box includes the “Ulfenkarn in Peril” secret envelope, intended to be opened only after your warband completes the final, grueling quest. With 180 tokens and markers, every wound, condition, and objective is easily tracked throughout your sessions.

Comprehensive Rulebooks and Lore

Inside the box, you will find three primary booklets that guide your experience. The 40-page Rulebook covers all basic and advanced mechanics, while the 56-page Quest Book details the full “Ulfenkarn in Peril” campaign, providing rich lore and maps for your journeys. For those who play the wider wargame, a 16-page Warscroll Booklet provides rules for using 38 of these miniatures in standard games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

As the sun sets over the Cursed City, the difficulty ramps up, forcing players to manage their “Fear” and “Influence” levels. If you fail to keep the city’s terror in check, the quest may be lost forever. Gather your party, sharpen your blades, and prepare to enter the most dangerous city in the Mortal Realms.
