WANDERSQUARES is a fantasy table-top role-playing game for adventurers, age 9 and up. It features an expanding, ever-changing map, a 96-page choose-your-path adventure guide and 16 inspiring characters to choose from.

About the game

The map in WanderSquares is made up of 32 Adventure Squares. Each Adventure Square is its own tiny story; with actions, outcomes, monsters and treasure. With each new direction the players choose, the map grows in endless combinations.

One player gets to be the Storyteller, taking the other players through the adventure. The Storyteller lays out the Adventure Squares, narrates the story and guides the action. They also plays the part of all the creatures & monsters that the players encounter, sharing clues if the characters choose to talk, and rolling the dice if they choose to battle.

The other players choose characters to explore the adventure. The can choose from one of 4 classes: Knights, Wizards, Tricksters or Scouts, and one of 4 different kinds: Humans, Gnomes, Elves or Faeries. Each character comes from a different magic world and has different skills, spells and stuff. The characters can build experience and level-up with every battle they win and puzzle they solve.

Take a little time to read the Rules of Play and the The Adventure Guide and the game will be twice as much fun! The Quickstart Guide in the WanderSquares Game Parts gives a list of the most important bits to to read before you play.
