Hirelings

A hero has hired all of you to help them climb a magical tower. During the game, you will take turns describing this hero and your shared quest. You will also work together to build a tower of cards. This tower will represent your progress in your quest.

On your turn, you will first draw a prompt card. Each prompt card has a prompt picture, a prompt statement, and one or more prompt questions for you to answer. You should read the prompt statement and then answer the prompt question(s).

Then, you will try to add your prompt card to the ever-growing tower of cards. Your success or failure will determine the hero's fate. If you succeed, the hero is safe and you can continue your quest. If you fail and the tower collapses, however, then the hero dies and your quest comes to an end. You will need to return to town and find another hero to hire you as member of their expedition to climb the tower.

To reach the top of the tower, you must build seven complete levels of your tower of cards. If you do, the tower will grant one of you a single wish. Who will you choose to make the wish? What do you think they should wish for? If you reach the top of the tower, everyone will answer these questions. Then, the game is over.
