About the game
Get ready for an epic and perilous adventure in Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower, the triumphant return of the classic dungeon-crawl! In this board game for 2 to 4 players, you and your friends are champions – some seeking favors, others destruction – who find themselves trapped in the Silver Tower, the shifting and treacherous domain of the sinister Gaunt Summoner of Tzeentch. Legend says the tower is a sanity-shredding labyrinth of horrors, teeming with grotesque monsters, winding corridors full of traps, and maddening riddles. Will you unravel its secrets and face the Summoner's sorcery, or succumb to the madness and despair the tower offers?

The game is a cooperative experience where collaboration is key, but the pursuit of individual glory can also be tempting. With a modular board composed of thirteen double-sided tiles, each adventure is unique, offering thousands of different dungeon combinations. Dice rolling adds an element of unpredictability, sending your heroes down unexpected paths. Your characters evolve and grow stronger between games, retaining persistent stats, which is perfect for those who enjoy a campaign. Face the followers of Chaos and the demons of Tzeentch in strategic combat, as you unravel the engaging narrative that unfolds with every step. Silver Tower is a deep dive into the Age of Sigmar universe, combining exploration, combat, and a good dose of RPG.
