Object of Thunderstone
You are the leader of a band of heroic adventurers. You have come to the beleaguered village of Barrowsdale near the gates of the dread Grimhold Dungeon. Your goal is to build a party of mighty heroes, magic spells, and powerful weapons to find one of the fabled Thunderstones. Each player constructs his own deck of cards during the game. Your deck represents the abilities and gear of your adventuring party. How you build your deck determines if victory and glory will be yours!
Thunderstone Card Game Setup:
Unlike most games, you won’t use all of the cards in the box every time you play Thunderstone. Instead, randomly determine which resources are available and which terrible foes you will face! If this is your first game of Thunderstone, you should use all the cards listed in the rule book. If this is not your first game, use the Randomizer cards instead. With different cards in play, this makes each game different. The Randomizer cards are labeled “Random” and have no icon.
Thunderstone Card Game Story Introduction:
A Gathering Evil
When the world was forged, Doom stretched out its hand to all mortals and offered the gift of the Thunderstones - each represented the pinnacle of power. Over the ages, men have fought and died to control them, but most stones were lost to the eons. Centuries ago, eight arch-wizards sealed the First Thunderstone inside Grimhold Dungeon. Terrible monsters and evil minions have since collected there like dark clouds on an autumn day, guarding the precious stone that mankind covets.
Can you face these perilous forces of darkness and claim the First Thunderstone as your own?
