Dungeonquest
Dungeonquest (sometimes known as Dungeon Quest) is a fantasy adventure board game originally published in Sweden in 1985 by Alga AB as Drakborgen, and subsequently published in English by Games Workshop in 1987.
The objective of this game for 1–4 players is to enter the ruins of Dragonfire Castle at dawn when the castle's guardian dragon falls asleep, navigate a labyrinth to the dragon's hoard at the center of the castle, and exit the castle. The game ends at sunset; any characters still in the castle at that point are automatically killed by the dragon. The player who successfully escapes from the castle with the largest amount of treasure is the winner.
The Games Workshop version of the game includes:
The board, marked by a grid, begins blank except for the dragon's hoard at the center. Room tiles are placed facedown near the board, and the time track counter is set to "Dawn". During each player's turn, the player selects a room tile at random and sets it down on a grid space on the board. Each tile may be one of several different configurations: a room with several doorways, a corner, a hallway, a dead end, a bottomless pit, a rotating room, etc. In all, the game contains 115 room tiles. When a player's character enters a room, the player draws a card to determine the type of challenge that must be overcome. This can include monsters, chasms, crypts, traps, secret doors, etc.
Jakob Bonds created the concept of Drakborgen (Dragon Fortress) while in high school in Sweden. In the early 1980s, he submitted the game to Alga AB for consideration. Dan Glimne, who had been working at Alga since 1980, was also working on a fantasy board game with a similar theme titled Trollkarlens borg. (The Wizard's Castle) Both Bonds and Glimne felt a "family fantasy" board game was needed, and they agreed to merge their two game ideas and jointly develop the new project. The result was Drakborgen, published in 1985 with illustrations by Anders Jeppson.
Games Workshop published an English-language version titled Dungeonquest in 1987 that included four plastic miniatures produced by Citadel Miniatures.
In Sweden, Alga AB released an expansion called Drakborgen II in 1987. Games Workshop also published this expansion, but divided it into two supplements:
Fantasy Flight Games introduced a new version of the English-language game at Gen Con in 2010.
