About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, dice slingers! Ready to amp up your Quarriors! game? "Rise of the Demons" bursts onto the scene with 20 new custom dice and 19 fresh cards to spice up your battles. The major highlight is the introduction of the "corruption" mechanic: you can now flood your opponents' bags with corrupted dice, hindering their game and giving you that crucial edge. Think of it as a "side effect" that can turn the tide! But beware, as corruption can also backfire on you.

Furthermore, this expansion introduces the "Demonic Overlord," a formidable creature you can recruit to your side, potentially paving your way to Glory. Rounding out the package are corrupted versions of familiar creatures, adding another layer of strategy and chaos. "Rise of the Demons" not only expands tactical options but also injects a "dirty tricks" element into the game, allowing you to sabotage opponents in new and amusing ways. It's ideal for those who already enjoy the core Quarriors! experience and crave more variety, or for players who love dice games featuring pool building and a dash of unpredictability. The fantasy fighting theme gets even more intense with these new demonic threats. Get your dice ready, and may the best (or most corrupted) player win!
