Is Hoshi a complete game or an expansion?
Hoshi is an expansion/supplement pack for Arcadia Quest and Arcadia Quest: Inferno. It is not a standalone game.
Do I need the base game Arcadia Quest to play with Hoshi?
Yes, you need to own Arcadia Quest or Arcadia Quest: Inferno to use Hoshi in your games.
Is Hoshi easy to find?
Hoshi was a crowdfunding (Kickstarter) exclusive and an optional purchase for the Fire Dragon expansion. It might be difficult to find outside of the secondary market.
How many players can play with Hoshi?
The number of players depends on the base game (Arcadia Quest or Inferno), which supports 2 to 4 players. Hoshi simply adds another hero option.
What is the average playtime with Hoshi?
The playtime doesn't significantly change with the addition of Hoshi, as it depends on the scenario and player count. Typically, Arcadia Quest games take between 60 and 120 minutes.
Does Hoshi have any very complex mechanics?
No, Hoshi's mechanics are consistent with the rest of Arcadia Quest. She uses dice rolling and grid movement, with unique powers that integrate well with the existing rules.
Is Hoshi worth buying if I don't have all the other Arcadia Quest content?
If you like the art style and want to expand your hero options, it might be worth it. However, as she is an exclusive item and can be expensive, she is most recommended for collectors and dedicated fans.
