About the game

What you do in a play session

Warhammer Quest: Cursed City is a cooperative dungeon crawler experience that plunges you and your friends into the shadowy streets of Ulfenkarn, a city haunted by creatures of darkness. Choose from eight unique heroes - each with special abilities and amazing miniatures - and face hordes of undead in missions full of danger. The game uses an action point system where you roll dice to determine your options each turn, requiring strategy and teamwork to survive. The narrative unfolds in a campaign, gradually revealing the secrets of the curse plaguing the city and its cruel vampire ruler. With 60 detailed miniatures and a modular board that recreates Ulfenkarn's decaying streets, each session brings new challenges and discoveries. Get ready for tactical combat, tough decisions and plenty of gothic atmosphere - after all, in the Cursed City, even victory has a bitter taste.
