LINKSEpisode Guide Mythology XANTH QUESTINTRODUCTIONBoard and Card game for 2+ players. Based on the Xanth series by Piers Anthony. If you are unfamiliar with the series, check out the links first. It is light hearted fantasy filled with lots of Magic, puns, clichés, titillation, Mysteries, moral dilemmas, likeable characters, and just good romping fun.
DISCLAIMERXanth is a copyrighted property. This is merely a fan site. VICTORYBe the first player to get your pawn to the end space and then back to the Starting space. (It’s a race game) This represents a quest involving a trek across the dangerous wilderness of Xanth.
PAWNSEach player has a pawn of a unique color. The Pawn represents the players main Character and any Companions. THE BOARDThe Board is a Track 63 spaces long. The first space is the Starting space. The last space is the End space. Space # 32 is the Gap Chasm. Each space must be big enough to contain one face-up card
DICESix and Ten sided dice are needed. CHARACTEREach player starts with one Main Character of their choice. This can be any adventuring character from any of the Books. Every Main Character has a Power Level = 3. An example of a Main Character would be Bink or Trent. THE DECKPlayers share a Common Deck. There are 10 card types: C = Companion E = Event D = Delay Challenge L = Lethal Challenge Q = Quest Challenge X = Location A = Aid H = Healing N = Divination M = Move
S = Safe SETUPPlayers put their pawns on the starting space. The best looking player goes first. TURN SEQUENCEPlayers take turns. On your turn roll 1D6 and move that many spaces forward. Once you have reached the end space, you turn around and head back. If you land on an empty space draw one card and reveal it to all players. CHALLENGE CARDSIf you draw a Challenge card, you must resolve it immediately. Roll 1D10 and add the Power of your Character and all Companions. This is the Hero roll. Roll 1D10 and add the Power of the Challenge card. This is the Foe roll. Hero and Foe rolls are called Challenge rolls. If the Hero roll is equal or greater, the Challenge is defeated. If the Foe roll is greater, the Character is defeated. If a Character loses against a Delay Challenge, the Character misses his next turn. If a Character loses against a Lethal Challenge, the Character must discard a Companion. If the player has no Companions, he misses his next turn. If you win a Quest Challenge, move your Pawn forward 1D6 spaces. If you fail a Quest Challenge, move your Pawn backward 1D6 spaces. The player may play Aid cards to raise his Hero roll total. Discard all played Challenge cards and Aid cards.
LOCATIONSIf a Location card is drawn, it is placed into the space. The location card stays there for the rest of the game and must Be encountered by whomever lands on it. Some locations are challenges, some are safe, some require you to roll on Special Tables such as the Settlement Table. Note: You must stop upon entering the Gap Chasm Space. You cannot leave the Gap Chasm until you find a Way across.

Max hand size is 4 cards. Discard excess cards. COMPANIONSIf you draw a Companion card, put into play face up in front of you. The Companion is “attached” to your Character. It stays in play until you lose a Lethal Challenge, or some other misfortune. You can have a maximum of 3 companions. Discard excess Companions.
Effects of Events vary. For a Move card, immediately move 1D6 spaces forward. For a Divination card, look at the next 7 cards in the deck. For a Healing card, put a Companion in the discard back into play attached to your Character. For a Safe card, nothing happens. Discard the Move, Safe, Event, Divination, or Healing card after it is resolved.
CONFRONTATIONSIf you land on another player’s pawn, there will be a duel. (Do not draw a card, and ignore locations) Resolve the Duel like a Challenge. A tie means nothing happens. The higher total is the winner. The loser must miss his next turn.
