Looking for expansions or templates? Check out the collection for all entries: Quests Over Coffee Collection ! Quests Over Coffee: Journeys is a fast, easy to pick up, solo adventure zine game where you explore in depth a quest from the Quests Over Coffee quest board. Each journey spans multiple pages in a zine, where unique encounters and tests of might are around every corner. Pick your favorite character, your favorite brew, and go on an adventure today! What's included: The Base Game has almost everything you need to start playing! You just need some dice and a deck of playing cards and you're good to go. The Base Set includes the "how to play" zine as well as two journey zines! Components 52-card playing card deck (to create your Luck Deck) 1x Journey Zine 1x Character Card 3d6 Setup 1. Pick a random Character or one of your choice. Write down the name of that Character in the "Character" box. This allows you to compare your score with others who have chosen the same Character or to beat your own score! 2. Setup your Luck Deck from a deck of regular playing cards. For every suit on the Character card, add that many to your Luck Deck. Example: ♠ 3 means add 3 ♠ cards to your Luck Deck. 3. Luck Deck (start): write down the number of cards that your starting Luck Deck has (you can just sum all the numbers on your Character card). 4. Luck Deck (final): write down the number of cards left in your Luck Deck at the end of the Journey. Events As you continue in your Journey, you will run into Events. These Events require you to roll some dice and compare your stats in hopes of progressing unscathed. Events are marked like this: HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN AN EVENT 1. Look at the symbol. This is what you compare your Character's matching suit stat to. 2. Roll 3d6 and add your Character's matching suit stat. If the value is greater than the number in the Event, you succeed! If it is equal than or less to the number in the Event, you fail. FAILING AN EVENT If you fail an Event, you take damage. Discard cards from your Luck Deck equal to the difference of the number in the Event and what you rolled + your suit stats. Example: The ♥ Event number is 18 and you rolled 10 + your ♥ stat of 5. The difference is 3 (18 - 15 = 3). Discard 3 cards from your Luck Deck. GETTING LUCKY! If the card you discard from your Luck Deck matches the suit of the failed Event, you no longer have to discard any more cards. You got lucky! GAME OVER If your Luck Deck is empty, you immediately fail the Journey. What Next? Make sure to follow this game as new Journeys (zines) and Characters get released! As always: Quests Over Coffee games will always be free print-and-play games for you and the community. Thank you for checking out the game!
