Ye Olde Inn

Apparently my brain is having a grand old time inventing Hero Quest cards without me, because these two more or less showed up uninvited and forced me to write them.

These are both very mean cards to find in the Treasure deck! Jagged Weapon basically forces the Hero to have a backup weapon on him, while Torn Purse is just a "feels-bad" money remover. Ironically, the variation of Jagdweapon which uses the colored (Green) dice is a lot more lenient than the other one, since a downgrade to green is much easier to deal with than just removing the die outright.

Very evil and simple. I like them.

I like them. They are mean and new. I guess I have to print those uninvited cards.

Oooh man those are mean! I likey!

A nice addition of variety that can balance a like number of favorable Treasure Card additions.

Thanks for the appreciation. I asked the evil half of my brain what it was thinking when it made these cards, and apparently it wanted to have a couple of "bad" cards in the Treasure deck which were more than just "lose Body Points" or "suddenly a Wondering Monster!", which is a sentiment I can appreciate. Hazards and WMs, I suspect, should definitely be the most common type of "bad stuff", though!
Hopefully I can find a few more unique ideas to add onto this thread and round out my custom Treasure deck (I've printed 104 cards for it so far).

I like these ideas. Good you've included the non coloured dice variant.

Good (?) news, everybody - the evil half of my brain came up with some more Treasure Card ideas!



It's easy enough to make Treasure Cards the Heroes want to find - just throw them a large amount of gold, or a low-level magic item.
Making unique Hazards is much more challenging - but also much more rewarding!
One key difference between these things and the average card that comes out of an Evil Wizard deck is the timing - the Heroes are generally not going to be Searching for Treasure if there are monsters already on the board, so you can't throw in any sort of monster buffs.

Edit: In case anybody thinks the "Cursed Idol" is too powerful or something, I intended for the EWP to only be able to force one of each kind of reroll once in total, not once per turn or something! Feel free to tighten my wording if you think it's not clear from the way I wrote it.
