About the game

What you do in a play session

Quarriors! Quest of the Qladiator is the third expansion for the beloved Quarriors! and throws players into the Qladitorial Games, a quadrennial tournament organized by Empress Quiana in the legendary Quolosseum. The goal remains straightforward: wield your custom creature dice and spells to defeat opponents and claim glory. This box adds 40 brand‑new custom dice, featuring six fresh creatures and two powerful spells, dramatically widening strategic options. A key innovation is the "Lock" mechanic, which lets certain creatures stay on the board with lasting effects, introducing long‑term decision making and deeper tactics. As with previous expansions, the core of deck, bag and pool building and dice rolling stays intact, but now with richer combos and synergies. Components are top‑notch, with well‑engraved dice and clear icons, making fast 30‑minute games easy to follow. Designed for 2‑4 players, the pace stays brisk, though persistent effects may demand a bit more attention when planning moves. Fans of the Quarriors system will love the thrill of unlocking creatures that remain "locked" on the field while still being able to swap dice in their pool each turn. Even newcomers can jump in, as the rules are concisely explained and the expansion includes a quick‑start guide. In short, Quest of the Qladiator adds variety, strategic depth, and a gladiatorial drama to an already solid pool‑building engine.
