The Annual Quest-a-Thon

It is that time of year again! The Island of Tilly is hosting their "Annual Quest-a-Thon" and you are invited to participate. Will you be able to collect the most Stars before the day is out or before collapsing from exhaustion? Who will you help today?

Setup

1. Shuffle Quest cards face down to create the Quest deck
2. Give yourself 12d6
3. Set your Scoring Marker at 0
4. Turn over the top Quest card to begin

Initial Setup

How to Play (Phases in Order)

1. Plan: Choose how many d6 to roll for the current Star. Each Star on a Quest can be rolled for once (i.e. attempted). At least 1d6 must be rolled for a Star, even if there are applicable dice in the Dice Pool already.
2. Roll: Roll your chosen d6.
3. Assign: Assign any matching d6 that satisfies the Star requirements. It is all or nothing. If you don’t have enough dice to satisfy the full Star requirements, do not assign them.
4. Dice Pool: Unassigned dice are set aside as the Dice Pool, which can be used for subsequent Star assignments on this Quest.
5. Discard: Any 1’s rolled are immediately discarded.
6. Quest: Continue to the next Star, top to bottom, until all Stars have been rolled and attempted (i.e. 3 rolls per Quest). Repeat Phases 1 - 5 for each of these Stars.
7. Score: For every complete Star on this Quest move the Star marker that many spaces.
8. Ready: Gather any assigned dice and dice in the Dice Pool to be used for the next Quest.

Game End

The game immediately ends when at the start of a Quest you only have 0, 1, or 2 dice remaining or there are no more Quest cards remaining.

EXAMPLE ROUND

Star 1:

You decide to roll 2d6. You roll a 3 and a 4. You assign the 3 to the Star. The 4 is now in the Dice Pool. You score 1 point for this Star.

Star 2:

You decide to roll 3d6. You roll a 1, 4, and a 5. The 1 is immediately discarded. What is in the Dice Pool now is a 4 (from the previous roll), 4, and a 5. The 4s match and since you don’t have something to meet the 3- requirement, you retrieve all the 4s and the 5. You decide to roll 3d6 and roll a 2, 3, and 5. You assign the 2 and 3 to the Star. The 5 is now in the Dice Pool. You score 1 point for this Star.

Star 3:

You decide to roll 2d6. You roll a 3 and a 4. With the 5 in the Dice Pool, you are able to meet all requirements. You assign the 3 to the Any, the 5 to the 5, and the 4 to the 3+. You score 1 point for this Star.

You have gained 3 Stars on this Quest! Gather all of the assigned dice and dice in the dice pool and flip over the next Quest card. The discarded dice stay discarded.
