About Side Quest

Side Quest is a dungeon crawling card game that fits in your pocket. With a single deck of cards and a couple of dice you and up to 3 friends can battle your way through a decision-packed dungeon. Fight monsters, grab loot and rescue maidens as you gear up your characters to fight the boss at the end of the dungeon. Side Quest is a fully co-operative game - if any Heroes (or maidens!) die, the game is lost.
