Wizard's Quest

Wizard's Quest is a fantasy board wargame published by Avalon Hill in 1979.

Wizard's Quest is a fantasy game where two to six players vie for the island kingdom of Marnon.

The game box holds:[citation needed]

Each player chooses an empty castle. Orcs are placed on empty castles and in some of the territories. Each player places a soldier on an empty territory, and this continues until there are no empty spaces. Players randomly deal their three treasures and fake treasure to other players. Each player then hides the treasure received on the board, but the treasures cannot be placed in castles or spaces occupied by the owning player, and no space can contain more than one treasure.

Players take turns attacking occupied spaces in order to search for their treasures.

Additional variables are provided by a wizard (good) and a dragon (bad), who randomly appear in different areas on each turn. Players can add more randomness to the game by choosing to draw from a deck of incident cards at the start of their turn. Most of the cards are beneficial, but some have a negative effect. Bands of orcs also roam around the board, causing problems.

The first player to reclaim all three of their treasures wins the game.

Wizard's Quest was designed by Willis Carpenter, Garret Donner, Mick Uhl and Michael Steer, with cover art by Chris White. It was published in North America by Avalon Hill in 1979. Various international companies including Klee, Pelito, and Schmidt Spiele acquired the rights for international distribution in various countries.
